I do not recognize
your
No Trespassing
your
Do Not Enter
your
Private Property
I walk this land
and so do the deer
or would
if you had not
bound it
in wire
removed trees
and
taken space
just one of the many
resources you
proclaim yours
I do not validate
your
claims
your
signs
your
documents
I step over the boundary
I have been taught to see
that I can identify
but refuse to credit
I fear
your
guns
your
dogs
your
judgement
social and legal
but this fear I breathe through
and walk
in spite of you
I’m not taking any of your
fucking money
