my face distorted
with anger
my head hot
I am a stray dog
on the street
walking
and people look
at me
and they know
I am crazy
and the monkeys
go round and round
circling
the neighbourhood
today
fearlessly
big fat ones
that wont budge
and they have been
doing this since morning
and now it’s past noon
and I feel tired
of everything
and the saliva
in my mouth is bitter
life is a bitch
and I spit at it.
