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...
