(Nov.7,1948 / New York City)

What do you think this poem is about?

Nature

All that is – is nature
The nature of nature
Is defined by nature
That which is defined by nature
We call natural
Nature forms us, births us, shapes us
Yet we aspire not to nature
But un – natural
Trying to be …not
An impossibility of nature.
