“I went to the zoo
three or four times
still not getting it
I was aware
don’t stand so close to inmates
only photos are allowed
I didn’t take any
I just watch in silence
two tigers were fucking
it looked like angry sex
to escape captivity
the hippo was all alone
lying sleepy on the concrete,
lightly depressed
monkeys were the worst
complete caged madness
I think they were saying:
I am innocent,
get me the fuck outta here!
Elephant looked stoned
tired of being useless
the gorilla was taking a shit
I could see only his ass
finally the birds
they were all fucked up
singing laments of terror
about their useless wings
on the exit
I realized
there were no survivors
for this kind of penitentiary
I smoked weed
in the parking lot
Alone”
