Too Civilized

so white

the walls

no dirt

no curves

no leaves

that fall

into

my tea.

a raised

and white

toilet bowl

to pee.

my toes

so clean

no ants

or things

between

my hair and feet.

I miss

the dirt

the curves

the open space

I miss

that leaves

fall into

my tea.

I know

where I

belong

and always

know

my home.

I’m glad

that too

I know

that place

of wild

deep inside

of me.

that place

that’s there

no matter where

I am

no matter

where I pee.
