The Monkey Speaks The Same Mind As The Hanging Man

The animal terminology of a mental savage
forms from the rubble its projections left
too far behind to ever fully appreciate;
Taking to social convention
like a jackhammer to a soap bubble
De-programmed by the laughter it silenced by pen-knife
only to bring back to life by mail-order bride,
Mankind’s most unnatural ashes stuffed inside a marble urn
ready & waiting to be leapt over by dolphin god--
The body cremated but the heart refusing to burn
