"this is the world as best as I can remember it"

The sleeve was gone

Coffee cup hot

Making it hard to hold

Fingers burning

But

Like Kwai Chang Caine

I bravely moved it

From hand to mouth

For a sip of liquid Chi

A. Monk: “Aaroneous Monk” brings to mind the image of a bumbling but well-meaning hermit who continually trips himself up in his overgrown beard as he attempts to battle evil in the world but, more often than not, forgets about the darkness in his own heart. It also sounds similar to the legendary jazz pianist Thelonious Monk, but with a faux-Greek twist. Thelonious was known for being able to maintain two disparate rhythms going at the same time with his hands seemingly disconnected from each other. That kinda sums up my struggle...
