The Legend of Lincoln Park Zoo

It was gloomy today i never knew why but it always seems that way in a big city the south side all lined with beautiful homes all the same sizes and shapes somehow the sun just doesn't seem to make it off the ground here while the west side has some quaint sparks of sun and the east side just don't get none as the lake mainly plays so plainly like in Spain although if you look across the water other cities have sun as the view is very clear as the fog seeps out daily and rests near the lighthouses and wait until the sun sets to return while all the time the sun buries itself over uptown the north side of town where the wind lies down in the debts of the buildings so high casuing a rush street wind everytime you turn the corner as your only refuge away from this blustery day is to nestle into a place where the animals are safe away from us Written by Yolanda Nicholsen May 19th 2004 Fort Myers Florida Malcolm X birthday right before my sons graduation writing away.
