Monkey
Monkeys, everywhere, chasing me
rabid chimps and baboons.
I run into the dark
room and close the door.
Shadows all around me
the red light bathes my soul in a hellish glare. I take
my
sword and dive into the shadows
fighting with the shadows
rabid monkeys pouring through
windows. I am bitten. I am gone.
I am...
A MONKEY!
