The Social Life

The Social Life

A monkey sits on the roof, eats a bon, bon 
with its wrapper on teasing a dog.

I sit in the bar, with Sylvia and Fred, drink
cola through a straw.
Bottles on shelves promise me I will be 
strong, feel at ease with this weird couple.

Fear will flutter away
like butterflies in a glade
disturbed by a hare.

A small glass of beer,
the monkey laughed.
came down from the roof.

I`m confident again
Fred is funny and
Sylvia is beautiful
