SONG FOR EXIT 7

 .

One of these road trips I’ll get off

this pretty highway

and go see Lupa Zoo.

 .

O Babe, one of these back-and-forths

I’ll take some alone time,

go see Lupa Zoo.

 .

And whenever I do get my heels

inside those Lupa gates

I’ll skip the buzzards. Yes,

 .

I’ve already seen the buzzards.

Just now in low foliage

they poked at a tawny deer.

 .

Just off this pretty highway

not far from Westfield — O Babe –

birds on a dead deer.

 .

Yes someday soon I’ll make that turn,

go see pink flamingos

at Lupa Zoo.
