I Went To the Zoo With Family, But Wanted To Go Alone
the malagasy giant jumping rats
look at me as if
to tell me it'll be alright in
the end
but i try to ditch the family
and run off to the insect house
overhear a family wanting a refund because
the aquarium has no octopus
there's no banter
in the primate enclosure
the ape looks frightfully annoyed
and i'm trying to get me mate
into dressing gowns
willing to dead name once
a week
the family find me
amongst the anteaters
