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: Antoine
Looking back I shoulda had a clue.
“Love is blind” to quote the old cliché.
The song says “breaking up is hard to do”
but they’ve made all that easier. These days
you get a “Dear John text & find your number
has been blocked on your BF’s mobile phone.
Like you’re just supposed to go—O bummer—
& leave the double dealing bitch alone.
Did he forget that I am an IT
god? That I hacked his whole life long ago?
Just look at all this stuff he bought for me
on Amazon! Too bad he didn’t know.
O honey sure you can break up with me.
Deal is bitch you can't do it for free.
Deal is bitch you can’t do it for free.
