Precipitating Events: Monkeyshine

#*Single monks dwell alone, due to pride but true monkeys go seeking their bride; and a monkess (no nun) loves some rain with her fun on the street’s sunny simian side.* Cohabiting the sky suspended droplets and sunlight cloud vapor silvered with solar illumination: A MONKEY’S WEDDING ! We shrieked it and jumped around along that shifting frontier between childhood and joy between sunshine and falling raindrops MONKEYS ! We knew they were entering into conjugal bonds; nuptial specifics were irrelevant the celebration was probably far away in Borneo or Congo or Amazonia . . . or behind the sky but it was monkeys getting married only there and then: along that impermanent line where the rain didn’t know the sun was out and the sun did not know it was raining that fine line: monkeyshine shout it out (when you were 8) negative ions in the air distant yells of children hopeful smell of peaceful summer neighborhoods THE MONKEY’S WEDDING#
