Leaving Civilization Marie Karr
the pure life before, the crudeness
wrapped with cellulose now
makes Tarzan gaze at the wreck that I am
For like him, if not for Man
These petty coats trouble only
The troubled and not me
whoever told man to dress up
and calm down? There was fire
not to give warmth but to burn
Wipe my eyebrows this is not
A time to miss nor pity
Go, rise, leave the world self-contained
we are ourselves better off in the jungle
though here it is quite impressive
dying epitome of barbaric world
Go, rise, suck the world out
Flush it out of yours, it is a
Wilderness in itself, but dead
i am there, so I must be
dead too---unmoving, static, still
eating dust and breathing leather
No shoes, no clothes, I should be
Prettier without them. Give me a hand
The wild is better than this.
