When you go on camping trips,
You're stuck right out in nature.
Foraging the forests like a primate.
Using sharpened tools instead of hot plates
Your thumb and forefinger
Sometimes when I lie awake,
when I finally get to sleep,
supposed to show you're not a wild beast.
I hear the rainfall on my tent fly.
I dream in Techni color.
You can hear their noises at night time
I think of all the insects that are sleeping,
I see creatures come back from the Ice Age
They don't have to keep a certain bed time.
and wonder if the animals are dreaming.
alive and being fed inside a zoo cage.
See in the shapes of my body
leftover parts from the apes and monkeys
In the days of the caveman,
and mammoths, and glaciers.
Bugs and trees were your food then
no pajamas, or doctors.
