if I quote great “minds”
or utter a singular word
about my own
tell me to hide under a rock
shun me with silence
ignore my proclamations
throw stones at me
I will eat my insects
skitter through the cacti forests
without regard for trudging truth
or the liquid lies of the high born
I will dodge the thorns
let my blood boil in the searing sun
mate without wily wooing
I will be
other than thee,
a grit dirt dweller
a hisser, blissfully
unaware, I hope
