let's bushcraft this

Let's bushcraft this. 
That means let's slap up 
a dirty contrivance of bark 
and hide, 
biting commentary, rushing 
to a rollicking sporting upon it 
like some two-fronted beast,
all out and plunging, swiving, 
maneuvering in a display
more check, perhaps than 
mate, but meet and by no means 
moot how we match and fall 
behind, catching up in spurts,
devising the other in cunning
tricks and stunts, finally
gasping out our courses
in cusses and other such 
slips of the tongue, unmeant 
yet much carried, and
flummoxing in spasms 

aghast and appalled 

at what's been called "a tent"
and what people do
intense.
