I'm going to visit the tiger at the zoo.
He's beautiful and dangerous
and I want to take him home.
Caught and brought here,
he speaks tiger and
maybe understands
some human tongue,
but not mine.
Since I can't have him,
I visit him where he is safe from me
and I am safe from him.
My skin is safe
but not my mind,
there he prowls
all night long.
