Gazelle Boy has weathered hands for shaking trees and giving race to the jeep. Treeless Savannah, she gave birth to a feral child. Outran a helicopter, leaping. Mighty feathered hair, aerodynamic toes. Wild child; too fast even for the bear trap to snap. Men aren't built for the animal kingdom; we eat with god damn knives and forks. Civilized and spoken for. Kissing our children, waiting for the leopards to lick their bones. |

so pregnant with meaning i am lactating not really
i especially like:
"Wild child; to fast even for the bear trap to snap"
(though i think you meant "too" instead of "to").
it has a dynamic groove.
