Monkey

Monkeys, everywhere, chasing me

rabid chimps and baboons.

I run into the dark

room and close the door.

Shadows all around me

the red light bathes my soul in a hellish glare. I take my

sword and dive into the shadows

fighting with the shadows

rabid monkeys pouring through

windows. I am bitten. I am gone.

I am...

A MONKEY!
