with your ear to the door

the zoo is not far.
across the road.

we can hear the animals
from our
window.
the screech of monkeys,

the roar of lions,

the chirping of birds.
caught in the high swung nets.

a splash in the grey stone
pool
where a walrus plays.

if you put your ear to the door,
you can
hear

the screams of others,
down
the hall. a different zoo
altogether.
