8He is so full in himself: \
9how far down the branch to run, \
10how long to jump, when to grab the air \
11and catch in it and turn, and land on branch \
12so gracefully it's like dying, alone \
13and warm in a bed next to a summer window \
14and the [birds singing][]. And on that branch there \
15is the squirrel dancing among the branches \
16and you think *What if he fell?* but he won't \
17because he's a squirrel and that's what \
18they do, [dance][] and never fall. It was erased \
19long ago from the squirrel, even \
20the possibility of falling was erased \
21from his being by the slow inexorable evolution \
22of squirrels, that is why all squirrels \
23are so full in themselves, full in who they are.
