| 18 | He is so full in himself: \ | ||
| 19 | how far down the branch to run, \ | ||
| 20 | how long to jump, when to grab the air \ | ||
| 21 | and catch in it and turn, and land on branch \ | ||
| 22 | so gracefully it's like dying, alone \ | ||
| 23 | and warm in a bed next to a summer window \ | ||
| 24 | and the [birds singing][]. And on that branch there \ | ||
| 25 | is the squirrel dancing among the branches \ | ||
| 26 | and you think *What if he fell?* but he won't \ | ||
| 27 | because he's a squirrel and that's what \ | ||
| 28 | they do, [dance][] and never fall. It was erased \ | ||
| 29 | long ago from the squirrel, even \ | ||
| 30 | the possibility of falling was erased \ | ||
| 31 | from his being by the slow inexorable evolution \ | ||
| 32 | of squirrels, that is why all squirrels \ | ||
| 33 | are so full in themselves, full in who they are. | ||
