My
word-pictures of rock pools, replete with crimson anemones, may be disputed. A
poet with prior copyright on Wye River, sometime in the future, could demand
recompense. Herons ply upstream, but however it’s said payment may go to Terra
Nullius Estate, sole owner of Wye depictions from any period. It has snapped up
riverscapes around Australia, its portfolio including big fish like Yarra and
Hawkesbury, though unnamed Americans claim Murray. Shareholders are concerned
poets may test the waters by describing Wye using another name. Verbal private
property gains traction, with legislation (The Literal Act) before Parliament.
Wind shakes April reeds.
