O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Oh I think either option is inappropriate for sure. But something about the way her eyes lit up as she said it made my skin crawl, definitely felt like a spicy sexual comment from a weird woman. My girlfriend took it the same way
