the tragic zookeeper

the tragic zookeeper.
_______________

it was the tragic
zookeeper most
agreed..

who in his greed
ruined

creation for all
the world..

and
gave birth to
Things

that should not
be.

i met him
shaving once..

briefly.

he had the kind
of smile

that resembled
broken

piano keys
forever playing
a warped version

of Fur
Elise.

somewhere between
sanitys
blurred extremes
there is a
stopped starting
point which indicates
the end of a
beginnings end.

and everything is
so circular that
our zookeeper
doesn't bother locking
the cage.

he just laughs into
the mirror.

(for all the world
to see.)
