I just want to peak
Out from underneath the sand
Until it all becomes too much.
I just want to crawl
Underneath and slither away.
There are no cowards, but curious.
Interest, for lack of knowing,
Peaked and it too does want to
bury; the Earth is embracing
And comfortable.
Life's lowest living creatures
--On occasion--swallow whole
The so-called higher order;
that Earth is not so embracing.
Swallow, shed, swallow, shed
Away vulgarity.
Everytime becoming difficult
To hide away, for some reason
Above ground is fascinated
With larger things in life and I
Too put it in its place.
I know because I respect myself
Enough to not get caught in a prison
Zoo or on someone's shoes;
Would you?
