6 | The self is a serengeti \ | ||
7 | a wide grassland with baobab trees \ | ||
8 | reaching their roots deep into earth \ | ||
9 | like a child into a clay pot \ | ||
10 | A wind blows there or seems to blow \ | ||
11 | if he holds it up to his ear the air shifts \ | ||
12 | like stones in a stream uncovering a crawfish \ | ||
13 | it finds another hiding place watching you \ | ||
14 | Its eyes are blacker than wind \ | ||
15 | on the serengeti they are the [eyes of a predator][formal] \ | ||
16 | they are coming toward you or receding \ | ||
17 | a storm cloud builds on the horizon \ | ||
18 | Are you [running][] toward the rain or away from it \ | ||
19 | Do you stand still and crouch hoping for silence | ||
