All I want is to stand in a field and to smell green, to taste air, to feel the earth want me, Without all this concrete hating me.

The speaker voices a stripped-down desire for unmediated contact with the natural world—standing in a field, “smell[ing] green,” “taste[ing] air”—sensory phrases that treat nature as nourishment rather than scenery. The line “to feel the earth want me” suggests a longing not only to be in nature but to be claimed by it, to belong within a living system. Against this, “concrete” becomes an antagonistic emblem of urban life: hard, artificial, and emotionally hostile (“hating me”). The poem frames modern built environments as alienating, while nature offers reciprocity, acceptance, and a restoration of embodied selfhood.
