Central Park Zoo
Paper blowing from its iron stomach
A yak from Tibet bellows to a stone eagle.
Macintosh faces watch gaudy bears jerk
Round an insane chiming clock.
Two lesbian lionesses make it
In a red plastic bucket to impress
The moth-eaten buffalo cowering behind
One inch thick american steel railings.
Black pickaxe men, uneven as glacial rocks
Stare and stare against the cold.
A weather vane monster
Sneers at the crack-ice lake.
Yellow and red pointed skaters
Slide to the barbed wire sanctuary.
An old brown hat paces
Hexagonal pathways to the mad mad music.
Threequarters the flag on a horned lamp post
An abortion sticker in a concrete house.
