THIS ABOVE ALL; # TO THINE OWN SELF BE ZOO. It is walking through the night. Its collar jingles with each of its ever, ever, ever, ever, ever restless steps. It is a month sober and its breath is a decadent cocktail of Chinese food and sugar free Monster Energy. As it walks through the night down dim sidewalks damp from recent rain, it is typing something on its smartphone. What words of evil does it arrange to worsen the world? Lo, they are written here: Welcome! This is the homepage for To Thine Own Self Be Zoo, a zoosexual literary endeavor with works distributed online and possibly occasionally on tape to a random library shelf near you.
