If I were in Africa
I'd stop day dreaming about
Wondering what the earth feels like under my feet
Wether the dust on my feet would feel
Like powder or sand
I wouldn't wonder how the sun
Would feel in Africa
Is it bulbous and gentle
Or piercing and critical
And the air
Does it insight a greedy lust
Or make me want to reserve
Every breath
Maybe one day I will know
And Africa will not call to me
I won't hear the soft grasses sway
I won't dream of the excitable cadence
Foreign words dancing in my mind
Like fireflies, no place to land
If I were in Africa
I would not daydream about Africa
