monkey
I was knitting some squares
while watching tv, I even put the knitting back after dinner, but a thunderstorm rolled
in and it got too dark to knit without
light, the inverter crushed and I came out of the room then there were many
monkeys in our backyard, I turned in to have my phone to take
photos of monkies. It got too dark to take photos and with the shouts of neighbors
they run away too far. Any how I captured one photo it’s too far…….. I'll do that later some day. the pic is displayed underneath:
"Two Monkeys By
Brueghel":
I keep
dreaming of my graduation exam:
in a window sit two chained
monkeys,
beyond the window floats the
sky,
and the sea splashes.
I am taking an
exam on the history of mankind:
I stammer and flounder.
One monkey,
eyes fixed upon me, listens ironically,
the other seems to be
dozing--
and when silence follows a
question,
he prompts me
with a soft jingling of the
chain.
