More in half-day
Patience
fly paper hangs beside
the tangy creak and the paint
peeled off the old screen door
a few yards away from
spinters rubbed off the loose
weather stained rocking chair
the porch announches each
stranger in heavy shoes
and worn blue jeans
to the tired old man
waiting by the register
to sell a six-pack
or die.

There are no monkeys here. If you're looking for monkeys, go away. Well, actually there are monkeys, but they're of the hairless variety that writes poetry and such. If that's not what you're looking for move along.
