there's a philosopher I once met
he showed me many things
he told me things of the world
his face was unusual-
but it could tell a story with rich
detail...in rich detail
sometimes eating
sometimes eyes closed
there was always the face
of his knowledge of things
he never spoke
he needed not to
he needed not to
he sits in a zoo in North America
has no other in his habitat
he's originally from west Africa
