the coldest part of the zoo undergoes mobile warming

the coldest part of the zoo undergoes mobile warming

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

the coldest part of the zoo undergoes mobile warming

 

 

archives

of past lovers

Oldsmobile's comfortable back seat trilogies

 

different co-stars,

but the lips, the hands, the burning skin

much being similar history

 

i never was much on anthropology 

in school,

but away from the desks, the cafeterias

and the penguins smashing fingers with rulers

it's an intriguing subject

 

especially when the fingers started 

moving again

and the windows became unclear lines of morality.

Ah, the submarine races...when the windows fogged up and the only thing to fear was a police flashlight in the window! "Different co-stars"....I liked that line! Young love and romance....it seems like a million years ago! Good one, Jacob. Lydi**
