it's ridiculous but i feel more safe sleeping in the woods on the ground than i do at home.

everyone always acts so surprised about that.

"On the GROUND? In the DIRT?"

;

why would i care about dirt when i'm sleeping next to you?


The author's comments:

Every summer, I attend summer camp, and I feel incredibly safe among my friends. I wanted this poem to convey the intense but simple feeling of safety and human connection that I value so much as a part of my summer (which is why I put most of it in all-lowercase letters).
