social grooming

I last saw my inner monkey in Bangkok, drinking Mekong whiskey and howling at go-go dancers. I told him I was going to Japan, and though he didn’t respond (or even seem to notice me), I could sense his disapproval. I should listen to my monkey more often

 


TOILETRY
My toilet has been scaring me.
It has become morose and cantankerous.
It bellows in the early hours of the night.
It recites Byron and talks of self-mutilation.
It drinks, drinks, drinks,
and then sings
in its low raspy voice
of the great machinery of night. >>>
