Animal Mind

 

Animal mind

 

Dreams of the Gazelle, I think you are doing fine, away from home

But don’t stall, just run and jump,

After all, you are an animal clinging to a mind,

That will not let go,

To the trap of catching alive.

I'm just sitting here smiling at this one...you really capture what might be going on in the mind of a gazelle as they leap like four-legged ballerinas as they try to escape whatever is chasing them. This is perfectly succinct and yet still quite profound.
