location

we speak of location

of where we are

how convenient it is from

here to there

the stores and work,

family,

the park.

a sleeve of water running

by.

it's a selling point

by the agent pointing

at the boat

sailing softly across the water.

you can't beat the location,

he says, and smiles.

we talk

of it as if it means we've

arrived.

we are close to all we need.

to everything

we need to comfortably

survive.
