Rift Valley

Thunderclap moments are common in Africa.

Consider standing where you can see down into the Rift Valley,

and remember that the giraffes look up incuriously 
as they pursue their serious business of demonstrating God 
before they die. 
The clouds pull rain across the endless grass;
somewhere a boy is always tasting 
his first orange soda in a strange land.
Life constantly begins and confronts, like a lion eyeing you.
