Constructed Situation

By Peter Laugesen

I am not ashamed
of the taste
I had in my mouth
when I woke up this morning
I am not ashamed
of feeling completely
out of control
with everything
when I hung in the spruce
distributing titballs
I am merely sailing
in the big blue ocean
the birds are singing of the birdsong
and I am not ashamed
because I am alive
and because I breathe
I am not ashamed
I am not ashamed
I am not ashamed
