AT THE ZOO



and 
my 
nose is against cool zoo glass  

and
i
watch the coldblood lizards there

they move 
in 
stop-motion freeze-frame

fast but slow

like
in
the 
b&w newsreels
all the 
side-partings watched
smoking filterless 
in the war years

and 
the 
polyester mammals
are
a
reflection 
spectre
behind
me

out of reach

out of reach
like history is
like dreams are

like everything is
in the emergency stop
of
breakdowns
weird
insight
