Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Reemerging Youth - LP Zoo

The young gorilla boy stares at

The crowds of people coming to

Visit him in his habitat

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

It has been over a year since

Covid closed the Ape Center down,

Social distance the consequence

For all around Chicago town.

But now visitors can once more

Come into the Ape Center and

Connect with wildlife as before.

The young gorilla shares firsthand.

At first he is a little shy,

But soon's back to the show off guy.
