All The Colors Of Africa

Hey, a Baboon sits in his tree, eating his lunch

And it occurs to me that time

Is going by faster on these

Dry desert plains,  there are no airplanes or

Satellites overhead right now, so

I go over to the Baboon, scratch between

His ears, and listen

To the wind

This ones a bit like a really long haiku. I rather like it but can't get to listen to the wind for very long because the image of the baboon trying to tear your arm off springs into mind.

fauna and machine all meeting
