They just kept jumping
I was traumatized as a child,
When I saw on the discovery-channel
Antelopes and zebras at a watering hole
Trying to jump it
All being taken by crocodiles
Who lunged out and dragged them under from mid leap
They kept jumping and the reptiles kept feasting
And this is when I realized that this is how
The world
Works
I want to be the deer who soars to the other side
It has to be me, just has to
Be me
But I see their eyes
Waiting
And can’t do anything but back up and stay thirsty
