We may no longer feed bananas to monkeys
in captivity
A travesty
for too long we have let them eat cake
freed mink reek havok
in unfree ecosystems
Intervention got it wrong
again
liberation may come in the form of
death
Test rabbits up in flames
going out with a bang may be better than
prison + torture
I am trapped
by money
by gender
by law
And escape may be the death of me
when the earthquake (tsunami, flood, ice-age, heat-wave, drought, extinction)
comes
honouring the spider in our kitchen
we don't swing our arms too high
observe her each day
she may be the most free
may we learn from her web
