Baseline
Low lying
Like a lizard on a rock
Gathering all of your energy from what is around you
Nothing inside
Acting on impulse
With a brain millions of years old

That is how old you are

Who came first?
Me or You

You stop progress
Throw up your hands
And shut my mouth
Hiding in your gut cave

Eraser of thoughts
And I with a blank slate face
Flaring up
Tightening at the smallest of advances
Protection above all
Safety is paramount...
