Human Nature - Reserved

Nature tamed, organised, tidied and serving Consummately sanitised for human consumption Nature bent unnaturally to suit the human nature Every pretty maid and ducks…in a row Florid facilities for townsfolk to fantasise Looking without seeing, treading without looking Stepping upon the very thing that they seek Nature expertly hidden to create rustic bliss The gravel path isolates shoe from dirt to avert mess A discreet suggestion to look but don’t touch Controlled decay, stage managed for impact and effect Nature has been preserved…in a human natured sort of way

I suppose that maybe you are referring to a city nature park or something like that. I haven't had too much experience with that. I live rural surrounded by 1000 areas of land that once belonged to timber company who planted pine .....pollen in the spring. They thin-ned cut it twice then sold it. Now the pollen isn't as bad. Keep writing. Sara
