17 | The self is a serengeti \ | ||
18 | a wide grassland with baobab trees \ | ||
19 | reaching their roots deep into earth \ | ||
20 | like a child into a clay pot \ | ||
21 | A wind blows there or seems to blow \ | ||
22 | if he holds it up to his ear the air shifts \ | ||
23 | like stones in a stream uncovering a crawfish \ | ||
24 | it finds another hiding place watching you \ | ||
25 | Its eyes are blacker than wind \ | ||
26 | on the serengeti they are the [eyes of a predator][formal] \ | ||
27 | they are coming toward you or receding \ | ||
28 | a storm cloud builds on the horizon \ | ||
29 | Are you [running][] toward the rain or away from it \ | ||
30 | Do you stand still and crouch hoping for silence | ||
