BRONX ZOO
6. the snow leopards
the bronx zoo doesn't provide plastic lids or straws, because people throw them at the animals, perhaps to get the animals' attention or to make contact, the woman who works in the cafeteria said, "they lost several animals on plastic lids," i didn't ask them what ones, it could have been the so and so or the so and so, until i write about every animal choking and the whole zoo chokes on plastic, the captive snow leopards cling to one another in their small world, as far as they are concerned they are the last snow leopards left on earth, they have never heard the cry of another snow leopard, or of another species that might have shared their ecosystem, in their many years of sitting and pacing, they twitch through nightmares that only a snow leopard could have, we have no chance in entering the minds of them, please do not throw coins or plastic lids into the pool, there is nothing left to wish for |
