the monkeys in the coconuts
lead happy, stress-free lives
the rest of us must carry on
like worker-drones in hives
obeying expectations
when we really ought to flee
our self-perpetuating slavery
from which we can’t break free.

Expectations fall from me
like coconuts from trees
my self-propelling cannon balls
that drive me to my knees.
