Sonnet of the Caged
Stuck in this cage
here at the zoo.
You are my only companion.
They brought us here
and locked us up
and you are the only one of my kind.
Any other place
in any other time
and we'd never match or fit.
But on top of you as I am
as they document us
I feel sweet connection relief.
So what if we have to populate this place
because we think there is none of our kind.

I think everyone's felt like that at one time or another. Makes me feel empathy for zoo animals and people that are treated like animals on display; oggled at and singled out.
