Flying monkeys around you

Thin tumbling monkeys

jumping, trespassing my

own fence.

Why did you release them once more?

I told you then

not to let them go wild.

Their dextrous hands amaze me,

but take me somewhere

I’d rather not go.

There, you can call

though I’m not sure

if you’ll get any answers.

Ticklish kids,

winking eyes

that don’t know where to look.

And when you notice

they took

your last breath

it will be

too late.
