Monkey jug it rolls off the tongue
Try it
Really? A bit too early in the morning, don’t you think
babe?
Where did it come from?
I was reading notes I
made in ‘90 last night from a book on
surrealism Africans arrived in South
Carolina 1858 off the slaver Wanderer
And it appearedyou recalled it . first
thing this morning.
It did The people used wood ash sand cinder to create
a distinct a rare alkaline glaze Applied to
kaolin clay its color ranges from tan to olive to deep dark brown Appears they made the jugs to look like themselves
May have humoured whitey thinking their
slaves children imbeciles
Fascinatinghuh
It is . . although it doesn’t take
much to fascinate you.
Present company excluded you
fascinate me endlessly
Oh brother . . you really want me
to say it.
Yes Please
The things I do to please you . .
. . Endlessly
Endlessly
Monkey jug.
Everything
you hoped?
Was it good for you too
she laughedtossed her headdidnt
cover her mouthsported her awesome dimples
The slaves used them in the field
as water jugs They were called monkey
jug a slang for thirst That according to the Oxford
English Dictionary cited in 1834 To suck
the monkey meant to drink straight from the bottle
Right up your alley.
Yah Hence why it probably hunground waitin on my
forty winks waitin for me to wake
she shook her head the way a wind movesblows tree boughes and its happyleaves
Babe, the way your mind works.
Be grateful I spared you You know what they say in Japan
In Japan? We’re in Japan now?
Hard to hit a moving target
You’re that.
No. What do they say in Japan.
If you don sleep someone else
will get all your dreams
An Im a stingy motherfucker
laughing gaily again
I’m okay you keep yours, keep them to
yourself until I wake. Then, cup of coffee in hand, I’m happy to hear.
