Escape


Exotic animals escape Ohio farm; owner found dead


Perhaps you gave yourself a tranquilizer
Opened the doors to their cages,
Deactivated the electric fence
Before sailing on oblivion’s ocean

Or perhaps you were strangled by strong paws
Who stole your keys
And set free the bears

No matter.
Exotic animals prowl the interstate
Lions running the roadways
Giraffes eating leaves in the medians

Camels  at the convenient store
Wolves at the Walmart

Humans hide at home
Cowering behind closed curtains.
