Animals - An Exchange

See the lion in
the cage - the monkey's fear
overcome by man.

There are always
people in front of a mirror
- and a monkey cage.

Aping an ape is
left to man, smug in his own
shell of vanity.

Aren't birds and bees
visitors to my ten by
ten cage, my own room?

Why art? Why not then?
Art pushes us into non-
animalistics.
