Reaching for the ground while pointing at the sky as I get up and off this cloud makes me young again. Sitting in this recliner poking at letters just long enough to finish a sentence before I forget what comes next has me contemplating climbing my roof to see how many little plastic monkeys I can hang from a single plastic monkey before they touch the ground. I’ll have to find a taller spot so I can add more monkeys to link together reaching for the ground while pointing at higher and higher peaks to dangle monkeys from my fingertips feeling old again.
