what a place to find
students i want to meet
a campus i want to walk
maps & letters
to verify as much
who was there when & why
before & before & before
im sure enough primary sources exist
purview => time immemorial
relatives i can name
ancestors i can name
who put in their time
so i may have my time
im not in the everglades
talking about a boa trapped inside someone's roof & now need animal control
under the purview of the confederacy
as well
location, location, location.
that's the difference.
thats the difference.
^=> ok that's messed up then
i have free time
that's ~for~ me to make it better
30 ft from so very much
beautiful wild woods
came from there
is my guess
would not have preferred
dpw & a landfill is my guess
conversely, the turkey?
was on asphalt
not my land
good resting place already
fell from the sky
chosen place to die
still i did not take it
& surely wouldve the water
bourne it away
before anyone else
even noticed to care at all
why would i ever even risk
the smallest offense
of even what i am so sure
creator simply meant to tell me
cos truly did i almost step on
is how wars start
taking something that isnt mine
to have without permission
from the people
the nation
without even making a phonecall
or text
to explain the situation
to ask
i am not ramapough
it is not my prayer camp
i was a volunteer groundskeeper
when i circled back way later
carried gently
to place in a better place under a tree
