His mind is a fog which hides <br />the heavens. The sky holds the stars. <br />Why shouldn't people, as well? <br /> <br /> <br />He has eyes like feathers. <br />His mouth is a boulevard of lies. <br />His smile is hard and the color of tea. <br />His teeth are expensive and white <br />as the moon. <br /> <br /> <br />His hands are filled with sleep. <br />He is sad as a rainbow lost in the sunshine. <br />An albatross is wrapped around his heart, <br />singing dark songs. <br /> <br /> <br />He was told as a child that <br />all circus clowns practice cannibalism. <br />He is the dragon living in God's suitcase. <br /> <br /> <br />He waits for his soul to sail <br />into another lifetime, one spent drinking <br />margaritas with unicorns on the <br />storied sands of Puerto Vallarta. <br /> <br /> <br />Tomorrow, he will become an iguana.<br /><br />David Kowalczyk<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-monkey-living-inside-of-me/
