More in Dregs & Other Unreadables
home from the zoo
The neat walkways of the Johannesburg Zoo
always soothed me when I was a boy
more so than the animals
whose presence in the 39 degree heat
really stank of shallow religion
and the politics of the impending big chill.
Just another blade of irony
in the endless golden grasses
atop the high plateau of southern Africa
fields filled with freedom and apartheid
nuclear power and zulu kings
lions and zebra
and once
me.
