337: A Zoo in a Trench Coat

I am creatures

stuck together

in a trench coat.

A little zoo

of fairytales

that hopes their disguise

will fool the humans.

We go about our day

in a modicum of harmony

until one rears its head

and lashes out.

Then

we pull the collar up and hide

in timid motions

and shifting eyes

until the creatures

calm down.
