apes have insight as seen
under the soft winds of tenerife,
man as another ape
also has insight to convey and
express through brain chemistry,
we share flexible hands
that in wisconsin built ceramic wares
that ape with flexible parts
would use to dispose and hide
bodily waste
not wiped with leaves and buried,
food and the toilet
an inexhaustible amount of
links between,
we feed we shit we betray
the toilet the ape the man
intrigue of mind
not understanding what is real
correlation of brain and development
would introspection
come into play,
ceramic beauty and form
cupping arse to excrete,
apes missed out on porcelain desire
white shining cold,
yet who has developed
we watch we learn we betray
emotions significant part,
bare red ringed arse
bare flushed mating arse
under kohler one and kohler two
we have become that unshakeable
being of flesh fur behavior
dynamics of a wild innocence
that sees things so differently
as we see of each other
anthropometrics of form and mind
everything classified
as in information,
encrypted distorted betrayed
told only by the apes that lead
the higher beings
naked suited alone
This is so mordant, so clever. You know, I’m sure, that chimpanzees are tool makers but somehow didn’t get this far – it really is an interesting take. I am reminded of two things other than struck by your originality here–getting to the bottom of things–and the vividness–the redringed arse–once I had a friend who worked for a kind of muckraking newspaper as a garbologist–going through famous people’s garbage–awful job that led him to quit–another was the Japanese toilet which very nearly sings, at least plays birdsong if you want, and gives the reluctant the sounds of rushing water. Thanks much. k.
