Shock the Monkey!


                  Program the brain
                       with positive intervention -
                            Shock it with poetic
                                electrodes.

                  Connect the temples
                         with godlike influences.

                  And always remember,
                          "Sip some poetry soup!"

                                     "Okay?"
                                          - "Okay, then."

Most poets would prefer that you say this poem is "Free Verse". You write a soliloquy on poetry and its effects on your writing. There is depth in your writing. Liked the poem.
