Marvelous Monkeys Poem by anais vionet

Marvelous Monkeys

Rating: 5.0


What I love about Star Trek isn't the plots or even the characters, It's their casual, daily use of fantastic technologies (think replicators)- for them, the ordinary. It mirrors our own banal use of magic-like wireless, google searches and air travel.
We are marvelous monkeys.

I'm a teenager. I am new and agog - Jesus, I have a lot to learn. How are the many marvels that elevate our lives actually made? The millions of cars, the fuel distribution systems, our skyscrapers. Who thought of all this?
We're marvelous monkeys.

We can almost cheat death - I saw *Marilyn Monroe* on TV last night. It wasn't the real star - of course - just the image of her purring sexuality. The her without the messy adopted-child neuroses, chemical dependencies, loneliness and deeper longings. But it's early days - her DNA is lying around here somewhere.
We're marvelous monkeys.

PS, It's wonderful to see, how much you appreciate our Monkey(Business) World. Just kidding, I was just thinking today, how many marvels we have created, where do they come from, how does it happen? From the caves to the moon to the universe. Just keep on being inspired, thinking and inking....

What a marvelous poem You are truly an amazing poet " monkey" and thinker! Every verse just flowed beautifully together, reaching a total equilibrium between thought and poetic essence and form. The true poet expresses in his own way things never said like that before. I think you have this great talent in you. Thanks for the poem and for the smiles and the satisfaction it brought with it!
