The loose-coat monkeys

a monkey

BARBARA POLLARD

The monkey was tired of societal stress and the pretensions that accommodate it.
It decided to enjoy its existence, regardless. So, one day, the monkey left its village.
“I ain’t worrying about all this mess,” said the monkey. “I’m going to enjoy my life and be peaceful.”
And it serendipitously found a banana orchard that was vacant. The monkey went up a tree and just observed the beauty of nature. It simply needed a break and remained there until it found solace.
Then the monkey returned to the village with its chin up and shoulders tucked back. Yes, this monkey would wear life like a loose coat and let it blow in the wind. All of us can too, if we choose.
