waiter, waiter

If you are in the desert and there is nothing but hot sand and white sky in every direction you call out Water.  But you don't really want water.  As below.

If you are in the ocean and there is nothing but cool water and white sky in every direction, you call out Land.  But you don't really want land, as an immediate transfer to the above situation makes clear in quick abundance.

What you want is border, edge, beach.  As I discuss in my poetry book Funny a desert is exactly the same as a beach, except for the ocean.   Come to think of it, an ocean is exactly the same as a beach, except for the sand on the latter.  

If you are going to use a latter to prune the plum trees please get a spotter and use her.  If you are in Lincoln Center hunting ballet dancers, use a leotard spotter.  If in Kenya shutter-hunting big cats, use a leopard spotter.  If throwing bowls and the King of Belgium, use a Leopold's Potter.  If you are an aquatic rat better sexy than your bff, you are the hotter otter.  Go to Boston.  Find a priest.  Call him Fodder.
