Wild in Every Way

First, completely independent
Of humans or any creatures,
Including the enslaving ants—

Second, veering out of control,
Very nearly out of control,
As a pattern of behavior—

Third, beyond fearless and feral
Into realms of the surprising,
Whatever makes the eyebrows raise—

Fourth, something truly unexpected,
Probably unpredictable
Or, at the least, unpredicted.

Step back and survey the wreckage.
What kind of wild is wilderness?
