Notes About The Poem

painting

Undergrowth with Two Figures - Van Gogh

Nature distorts humans
to conform to its pattern, in shape and form.
Stretching, bending, squeezing
the human form to somehow fit in,
as an odd Chameleon,
hiding out of place 
distorted and misshapen,
bashfully conforming in camouflage.
