..........................................................................
I've been to these types of places.
They enrich my life in innumerable ways.
Often subtle ways—
Sometimes too subtle to even comprehend.
In some ways the Zoo is even more subtle and
difficult to comprehend than the Art Museum.
As a visitor, I believe that it is good to attend these
different kinds of institutions in succession—
PROBABLY FIRST ZOO, THEN ART.
