Monkeys

People
who want to change the world
but can’t change
a diaper
a flat tire
or their underwear

have my grudging respect

for being unskilled
but still willing to dream

The daily
isn’t going to go away
because we ignore it

but it takes a special sort of monkey
to believe
that enough of them gathered together
will make a masterpiece

After all
it has happened a few times before

and there are always people to pick up
what they’ve let fall

right?
