If monkeys had wings

What if monkeys had wings?

I would buy a monkey with wings

Not a large one

Just a small monkey

to sit on my coffee table

and start conversations.

My monkey would fly about the room

and people would point

and stare

and I would be that guy

you know

the one that has a monkey

with wings.

Of course

no winged monkey can live anywhere

that isn't a castle

What if castles had wings?

How big would they be?

Would castles like to fly?

Would the other flying creatures accept it?

Or would it be an outcast...

lonely and sad.

I would hug the castle

and tell it that everything would be alright

those birds are exclusionist anyway

who needs them

you have the monkeys to keep you company.
