hippos. for a change of pace.

poetry

oh the hippos in the park
they don’t belong there.

i know it because i saw them once in a zoo
and it occurred to me that while a zoo is
similar to a park there is one important difference
a zoo has bars. cages if you will.

and hippos simply don’t belong
wandering around uncaged. unbarred.

oh the hippos in the park
tisk tisk, they don’t belong.
