no gates at the zoo anymore

we used
to incarcerate the mentally
disturbed.
we weren't taking
away
their rights, just helping
them,
with three squares
and a cot,
and someone to talk to
other than
themselves.
but now,
they're everywhere.
arms deep into garbage
cans,
screaming at demons
on the street that aren't
there.
buying guns.
becoming congressmen
and women
speaking at the podium.
the world
has come undone.
