It starts with ox-bow lakes then you wake up one morning in a wadi.
And that's that. You look back on where it all went wrong. What if you had chosen a different path? You could be comfortable, looking out over an Alpine lake at the edge of a glacier. But no. Wadis were your destiny.

Like an uncontrolled descent down a screen slope.

What was the name of that geography-inspired 70s band who named themselves after the best wadi of all the wadis?
I've never seen an oxbow lake in real life, and that's one of my life's big disappointments, seeing as my expectations were set that this was a commonplace event, worth making part of the GCSE syllabus.
I expected far more quicksand in my life, too. Not because of GCSE geography, but watching TV and movies in the 80s you had the expectation set that quicksand was a fairly common peril.
I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun.
I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

I've come across quicksand on Crosby Beach where I got my shoes stuck one time which made me panic a bit.

Oxbow Lakes sound like a 90s shoegazing band whose biggest hit (#72) ripped off Chapterhouse.
What's that thing called when you absorb something unconciously? It was actually a tune by The Orb that i had forgotten about which subliminally planted a seed for a weak joke.
