A VISIT TO THE ZOO

Hands out, clasped, tight.
Steel soft stranger leg jambed on mine.
Tips tickle tip toes
Tracing romance up my thighs
A hundred times, a hundred times.

BAM
Beat in
Beat on me
Beat off material is what you are.
Make it hurt. 
Force feeling in on me
With your ape pull in the jungle dirt.

I visited the zoo that day, but I made a wrong turn.
Lost my map, it was a Monday.
I asked for directions from a monkey
Only to find mirrors on the cages unmasking my identity
Animal and human, equally and perfectly.

We were loose in the park on a Monday,
Maniacs under an ancient moon.
Arms wrapped, double tap
Finding my way back didn’t matter much anymore.

Timber!
Your body brick actioning on mine,
Trunk clunk heavy with heat and hormones and hoppy IPA.
Tonight was not the night,

But I still shoved two fingers in your mouth,
I smacked your cheek, you bucked and barked. I sighed.
I looked you in the eyes and told you - “Your sexuality is beautiful, in all its primal”
Your face shined dark and you told me - 
So was mine.
