I enjoyed this clever way of introducing people to writers.

As for the the land as a bathroom, I live on a one acre plot carved out from a farm and I wrote a couple of poems and notes about the freedom of relieving onself in this manner. https://marcus17043.medium.com/full-moon-tanka-haibun-a983892dcad8, is a tanka and prose poem--a couple of lines: "Walked outside to relieve myself. Feels like freedom. No one around to judge. Just me and nature. ... Freedom. What is freedom? Freedom to pee against the breeze but not freedom to pee on someone else’s freedom."

https://medium.com/@marcus17043/of-connection-to-nature-cd5f0907b32a, a five tanka stanza poem, contains these:

"As Adam stood I

And as innocent Eve too

Gloriously bare

Not even our loins deer clothed

Enjoying Eden’s garden

In that moment felt

Both freedom and connection

Life’s paradoxes

Of all the Philosophers

Rousseau the most enlightened?"
