Stockholm Menagerie
the heat is unbearable
but not like the cold,
without the chance to
gather my bed
for a long slumber
this meal tastes like
ice and poison,
why would they
eat this junk?
then again
maybe they don’t
just a little higher,
i can totally reach
the brim
where the small heads
look on with glee
i wouldn’t hurt anyone,
and i forgive all the
voyeurs
for sacrificing their
time to watch me
survive
i just want to
go home
