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.

Sonnets From Other Lives: Jake & Pablo

--Fuckin banks crash the economy
just like they did back in 29
& the only difference that I can see
is back then Democrats still had a spine.
--Welcome to the Roman Fucking empire.
Beer always brings out your inner pundit.
but I’m good drinking & watching you breath fire.
--A person has to be to be a total dumbshit
if he can’t see that there’s no way this can last.
These corporate fucks will suck the country dry.
--Already did in Michigan. I drove past
ghost town after ghost town—give them time.
So I’m buyin—want another one?
--The war is over Jake. The bad guys won.
