M.R.+What's+fake+can+never+be+real

This line says:

So I will build: wife, family, and seek for neighbors.

This line caught my eye because he is saying that these things he does not have, so he must build them. From what we do not know. We know he is in the wilderness, so will he build these things out of stone? Or out of wood? These things are not very materialistic, but he is begging for companionship. We can tell from the poem that he is alone in the wilderness, whether he wants to be alone or not is not very clear because he goes to this place alone but then wants to build these people to not be lonesome. We know its a man because he wants to build a wife, and family, does this mean children, or a mother and father to cling to? Seeking for neighbors is an interesting way to put it, he is alone in the wilderness, so who could possibly be there? Maybe he is referring to animals that inhabit the space he is intruding upon, or maybe he thinks that all alone in the state he is, there could possibly be human life lurking in the trees. This phrase also made me think that he maybe left his previous life, and now wants to replace what he used to take advantage of. But like what I titled this page, what's real can never be fake, he can never replace what he left, he can never make it real again.

Begging for companionship is an interesting observation, Mia. It does seem so, and isn't the human connection what almost every person yearns for? But I also wonder if he plans to just build icons of family and neighbors, not really wanting the real thing.
