The new monkey in the circus..............
So it will jump and summersault and walk on two hands and eat a banana with the free legs.
World over most of the circus acts are the same. The monkeys always jump to get a
banana, some peanuts or on the swish of a whip. This one too will get its share. At the end of every act the crowd cheers or mocks.
The tiny flickering night stars are out and the monkey walks to the other end of the cage where it has a large opening with barbed wires, with a shiny apple in its one hand and the other gripping the barbs , it looks up to the sky over the trees and wonders if somewhere out there, is a small tree with wild berries to trade the apple for.
Dreams are nice. Especially when they remain as dreams.
The apple lies on the cold iron cage floor, the monkey practices for the next play.
