A Question of Definition

a question of definition

camping?
luxuries au wilderness
juxtaposition
air conditioned lassitude
with untouched raw nature
three piece baths
next to outhouses
wheels rolling through trees
electric lights break
the pristine dark
camp-fire-crackle ambiance
food microwaved
hot running water, lakeside
even the chipmunks shun
mere bread  
for more sumptuous fare.

I understand perfectly where you are coming from with this one, Patricia. Yes...it is rather a total contradiction in terms: modern conveniences intruding upon raw nature! Camping? Hhmmm. Lol. :) john
