My Zoo

At my zoo I make all the animals beg
and I starve them for some reasons
I wrote down erased and forgot
from the aquarium tanks I eat all
the fish I can before I wait for
the cancer to take the rest
there's enough DDT in the fluoride
for a million succeeding generations
to succeed on but I wipe them out
and buy new ones so the new ones
can die hopefully that same fucking way--be
happy paphy yaphp happy HAPPY
it's a children's book it's a walk
the way of the world wild
wild world o' happening only
remembering
at my zoo I keep the walls uptight
I make sure the barbs are facing in
I kiss all the prisoners good night.
