Shakespeare's Monkeys

Infinite Monkeys. Infinite Typewriters.

More in Beside the Point

Little girl and a big shake (up)

So, this is the echo of a thousand miles
the thick cold sweet laughter of a shake
dripping from the ceiling, and the smiles
of a little beauty - what am I to make

of these facts? Poetry is a simple matter 
of words on souls - either with careful pen
or (more often) a careless splatter

  • a father asks, explain to me again


how these moments are the best of times -
how the facts of why we did not kill her dead
are the reasons more often than the rhymes
and a dozen years from now will be still unsaid

The sugars will decay into a stink of must
as her beauty grows.. in this - please.. trust.
