THE ZOO

 

THE ZOO

 

I feel sad for the animals.  They stare angrily at me.  They look lonely turning their backs at the people.

The monkeys shake the cage so hard the bolts are smashing apart.  They suddenly scream out to each other.  The other monkeys join in and copy.  Its like a sound wave.  Some people block their ears.  Kids shout back and the monkeys go silent.

They sulk back to their dark, damp corner sadly picking bugs from their arms.  People shuffle away bored to the next cage.
