when I was in third grade
social studies
we studied a unit
about kibbutz 
&
I was SUPER captivated

the IDEA
a group of people 
living and working together 
the sort of isolated
situation 
the
children weren't 
RAISED
by their parents

MAYBE 
THAT 
is the root of this whole off grid fantasy

which seemed
when I'd thought about it for years
like a LOT of work 

what sounded like more fun was monastic life
now HEAR me out
nuns WORK hard
PRIESTS 
have work and responsibilities 

MONKS
make liqueurs and sh*t
something kinda
high pay off
low work time

because they spend their time praying

there were some monks 
at the Renaissance festival
