the dead monkeys

(none of the unseen)

they were everywhere

one by the front door

another in the refrigerator

another wearing a crown 

stuffed into one of the bookcases

the car was full of them

and had been for at least a week

you couldn't open the door

i had the car removed 

from the grounds

the police showed up asking a bunch of questions:

"do you know anything about the dead monkeys ?"

"where is the toilet ?"

"do you know that there is a dead monkey 

in your toilet ?"

i told them i suspected

it was probably my old GF

her or her new BF probably

had something to do with it

but i wasn't sure and had no proof

it was truly terrible and now

i can't stop eating and eating and eating

last night i ate a whole cake

that i made from scratch

while watching 'wrath of khan'

on netflix
