and
my
nose is against cool zoo glass
and
i
watch the coldblood lizards there
they move
in
stop-motion freeze-frame
fast but slow
like
in
the
b&w newsreels
all the
side-partings watched
smoking filterless
in the war years
and
the
polyester mammals
are
a
reflection
spectre
behind
me
out of reach
out of reach
like history is
like dreams are
like everything is
in the emergency stop
of
breakdowns
weird
