to davy, my english hanuman RIP DAVY JONES when you were a simple monkey asked to deliver a single bud, you brought a field of asian amber flush. your unbridled devotion thrust you to monkey god. now, you divinely intervene and bring me messages of him. i find him in a soup kitchen baking apple bread in a t-shirt depicting two quarreling monkeys captioned, “double talk.” he loves me and focuses on monkees rerun marathons late into the night preserving our chaste, intimate love. tonight’s virgin viewing is in your honor and cinematic eulogy, davy. humming your swanee river, i shiver with relief that my heart no longer attacks. thank you, for the anthem bouquets of my youth.
