Pogo stick crutches for recovering kangaroos

could be enjoeyable

(in and out of zoos).

World Veterinary Day (final Saturday in April)

and We Jump The World Day (29th of April)

remind me of these thoughts (in this post: they’re its staple).

This poem Bounce Back was in a Milpitas Post issue;

the memory of my poem still does continue.

And while I did not submit that line with zoos to Milpitas Post,

part of me wishes that I did. It can feel like a ghost.
