Massa

Faith Ironside

It was forty-five years ago you left the jungle
To come and be captured
And live by the Schuylkill

Philadelphia's finest
Most captivated, captivating
Record setting primate

Massive, "Massa"
Most beautiful, morose creature
With your age folding down your face in great chapters of skin.

Oh Massa, your hugeness stares at me through the bars
Like a great tree planted in the wilderness

All alone, bewildered
Your soft, fluid, melon-like eyes deceive me
As you gaze at me
Stirring in me....
