After Ed Roberson

Isn't it true that
we move through nature
never taking stock
of our natural state?

Train hop across
the countryside.
Think you've become
one with nature.

Not frolicking bodies
in the prairie
meadows
and open fields.

Isn't it true that
our bodies respond
when we present
them with nature?

Top speed of 10 mph
on a gusty day.
Air slapping skin.
This is natural.

Skip town.
Not by train
but by trail.
          Not by trail
          but by path.
               Not by path.
               but by the breeze.
