should we join the nudist colony

i think

we should join a nudist colony

for our next meet up

adventure,

my friend

Becky says,

as we sit on her front

porch

eating bon bons.

what?

it would be fun, to be

free of our

clothes,

to be out in nature

like the way

God made us.

unburdened by polyester

and cotton,

spandex,

dresses and pants,

shirts

and shoes.

no shame, no guilt,

just free as a bird walking

about.

what do you think?

no, i tell her.

what about bees

and poison ivy?

and there's a part of me

that i have no

control over

if i'm back in the wild.
