Camel, dromedary.
Sure, a poem but why?

Even taxonomy
is too pliant for you. Extinct

or extant. If a line drawn
in the sand is too soft then

what use are words
that build and fall

to gently say no desert
no life begins or ends

precisely. It is a collection
of inconstant and

inconsistent forms that slump
or shift at best against

what confines them. Naming
things is such an act.

Bactrians have one
hump. To be exact. You

have hurt me
with your indifference.
