Time Waits: I woke to the noise of monkey's knuckles...

Tuesday, April 1, 2008

I woke to the noise of monkey's knuckles...

...knocking loud on my door.
He screamed, "Man, let me in or I'll kick your hallway ash tray all over the floor!"
Well, there were wrinkles in his voice, wrinkles in his suit, he'd partied all night before.
The monkey looked tired, so tired.
