Planet of the Apes - DestinyHe’s finally free,
With his mate riding horseback.
Leaves prints in the sand.
Plans to change his world,
Now dominated by apes,
Do not kill for sport.
He then sees the past,
Fallen Lady Liberty,
Unveils man’s future....

Escape From the Planet of the ApesMidnight plus fifteen, the streets come alive,
Spilling tattooed mobs, teeming motion-blurred
From the bars, karate and kung-fu moves in car parks
And upon telephone kiosk phone books.
Kebabs stinking of extra onion, chilli and garlic sauce,
Soaking up beer and chasers, churning innards;
Chinese takeaway cartons slung in gutters,
Spraying noodles...

Limerick
Humans Are Not ApesHumans are not Apes
to ape himself or others
In every human there lies
golden mine of ideas
tropical rain-forests of possibilities
deep sea treasure pearls of knowledge
Cumulonimbus clouds of wisdom
Through capacity to reason
by creative thinking
and power of imagination
unique, unknown things
can be conceived and hatched
new things that tell old ones
to...

Apes In Space
See those primates rising before the sun?
Do you suppose this is how mankind had begun?
They jump up and down and make noise on the sand.
Guarding their watering hole, they take a stand.
They join together to make a group; never to be alone.
Any adversary is beaten...

Beaten By ApesThe apes are winning because they stole the fastest bike.
We are trying to keep up, but I am riding a rusty trike.
They are mountain climbing as fast as they can.
Come on! I urge my partner. Let’s be the man!
The apes are ahead, by too many...

They are ordered not to interact: "Just watch!"
"The world is afraid of changing the timeline!"
They setup a secret observation...

Almost to the StarsLong, long ago
in the dense
warm
rainforest
where our ancestors
swung from treetops
in the canopy,
someone fell -
a slipped grip,
a jammed finger
or caught tail -
down, down
down
they must have caught hold
of a branch
or a vine,
or the hand
of another
of their species,
a friend in a time of need
because two hundred thousand
years later
and...

Basic WatersThere is a water shortage.
A problem the moon shines
to introspect its tides
and how they can become still
with or without the clouds.
I forgive the engineered outrage.
Attracting everything but
rhythm because to flow
is to sleep next to a hut
thatched with growth.
While the children
in the village...
