Zoo in the rain

I’ll go visiting zoo in the rain.
The rodents in their houses shall stay
and the birds will hide in the trees
while the felines with shattering teeth
will be sleeping as all the stray cats
that I’ll notice under the tents
of the cafe, open but empty.
I’ll let the anxious creatures attend me
on my walk and somehow share their fears.
Won’t you join me one day doing this?
Isn’t it what you’ll find up to date? -
not to watch, but to help mediate
in the conflict of water and fur?
Or will you find it going berserk?
You are welcome 24/7,
though the gates, they say, close at 11,
as they’re curious, but still need some rest.
As we all do to walk abreast.
