My patch, my stomping ground,
we claim an area through long acquaintance,
taking comfort from familiar things,
secure in our knowledge of the rules
governing these few streets, neighbourhoods,
claiming an ownership ephemeral,
instinct allowing us only what we can chew
while the greedy dream of the world.
