Loss of Innocence

i wear no clothes at the river,
returning to nature as a sad lover
touching earth skin to skin.
mingling in her warm sands
and flowing with her currents ebbs my mind like a tide

Suddenly Civilization!
Stands glaring at me in its baseball cap and polyester suit;
His thoughts are Wonderbread.
He says he’ll call the cops,
And I slink off like a wounded snake,
That crawls beneath fig leaves
Still remembering Eden.
