I SEE THE MONKEY
I see the monkey
way up in the tree
grappling with his chains
the rains will soon come
and the leaves offer no warmth

He twists, he shakes
struggling, biting
at the twisted dominance
of Man
in vain

arms outstretched, reaching
cries lost amidst anger and confusion
but he stares and glares
and sees the cage
in Me

I see the monkey
way up in the tree
way up with his chains
staring, staring
at Me

12th July 1998
