What it is

June 2010: In a desperate attempt to stave off senility, the monkey began writing a poem a day. By summer's end he'd begun to run out of versified political rants and philosophical bloviations. Then he hit on the improbable idea of writing micro fiction in the form of Elizabethan sonnets. Eureka. The birth of the "Sonnets From Other Lives" series. Two hundred plus lives later, he's still at it.

8/26
We have learned
that echolocation
allows interested cetaceans
to "look" beyond
a diver's skin
to "see" a heart within
pulse warm blood
through the curious alien
venturing into their
dark fathoms.
But what
if their "visions"
could show
the meaner workings
of the human soul--
& allow Leviathan
to make or not make
a distinction
between swimmer
& agent of extinction?
