National Zoo
Melissa Tuckey

 

Mother in a snit
elephant on its last set of teeth


Child in the bright light
fascinated by walkways
and bridges


Styrofoam coffee
and non-dairy creamer


doors that open and close


Children slobbering
against the fish tanks
of Amazonia


Medicine men dancing
reel-to-reel


A machine for bottled water


Concrete the color of sea
the color of stones



Melissa Tuckey is a poet, an activist involved in DC Poets Against the War, and a FPIF contributor.
