Triangular Monkeys

Born before roads and triangles, Euclid
told us
about patterns and
logic.
Monkeys can nod their heads and
listen
without ever agreeing with the speaker or the sounds.
Laughter
is a hyena rambling on dry mountain nooks.
Concepts
are embedded body
parts that
monkeys only learn to use when
highly
developed. When the fish decided to walk, he expressed
squareness.
When the gorilla stood up, he invented the micro
phone or,
she did when she tied her hair
into
a knot. Lava grows leaves that turn red
again
seconds before the blaze browns out into a cooling stone cocoon that will
transform
into cutting ice pairs whose corners penetrate each other’s faces.
Strengites
too know all about triangle
concepts,
but they are too quiet for monkey ears.
