What is your nature?

An endurance.

Has it always been your nature?

Yes, in that I’ve never been able to separate it
from plastic in the ocean.

Describe your nature without using words like masculine or feminine.

How does your nature impact your experience of humanity?

All day I stay tuned to a royal wedding.

Your sex life?

I should stop telling flowers they’re in my poems.

Your body?

Floating above my head like a panic balloon.

History?

I don’t understand the question.

Your history.

I saw a deer inside a cathedral today.

A deer?

And I learned about the pine tree varieties.
I counted the kinds and felt sorry. 

What else did you learn?

Everything I know I soon forget, which is exactly what is meant.

How does your nature impact your experience of the environment?

The seabirds have bellies full.

How do you relate to those who don’t share your nature?

The deer looked up, almost in reverence.

How do you relate to those who do share your nature?

The ocean is crowded with us.
