Disconnections [67]

Disconnections

In a time when animals are mere displays, cartoons or meat,
where lies the disconnection and at what cost.
Even the man who butchers dogs for meat has one as a pet.
What has he found that we have lost.
In the concrete jungles only rats and rats with wings hurry about.
Zoos and gardens remind us food isn't made at the corner store.
How to reconnect with what we overlord.
I sit with my geraniums, count each blossom,
walk paths inhaling fragrance,
hail each cat, pet each dog.
