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.

7/17

an angry red light
glows in the night sky
high atop a steel
girded tower

its mission:
to broadcast monetized superstition

the message
if heard and dismissed
as absurd
condemns the hearer
to eternity
in some twisted
Medieval nightmare

note the ethics of this equation

then change the station
