Fat Guys in Sandals

her skirt
reminded them of the throttled zebra
found last year
   down by the sewage hostel

there a creep
sold out on the mantra
"please, I ask"
please
I seek
the truth as boldness
the escape from animal consciousness
I consume
barbaric sunlight
schism between equals
please
I seek
cold rainbow orphans
strung up in Western light

down by Despair Creek
the young ones
sit
watching across to Zoo
their arguments confirmed
to simple forms
atrophied emotion
