at one with nature

you are not one
with nature.
in fact you like
your nature
with a paved path
and a coffee
kiosk at
the end of it.
you have no
interest in
climbing that rocky
ravine
or fording a river.
you bring
an emergency
sandwich
with you,
when you cut
through the woods
on your way to
the store.
you worry about
the animals though,
their eyes lighting
up at night
when you swing
a flashlight
out there.
you wonder
where they might
be hiding during
the day
and will they try
to invade your
home at some point
and bite you.
