Alienated

it is strange to be related to everything
to share our DNA and our elements
and still feel alienated

to lovingly dig into the earth
to feel the soil between my fingers
and then need to wash my hands

to gaze up at the clouds
in the bright blue sky
with my sunglasses on

to walk upon the earth
exploring its wonders
with shoes and socks on

how far I have come
arising from my genealogy
to leave my natural world

I was born here
like everything else
but I am now an alien
