a baboon climbed up this tree, donning each leaf as a lil hat, finding joy in getting higher and higher until the island below was just shy of the horizon, keeping sights high, lowering inhibition, mourning nothing, but lost opportunities. perhaps, my question for you, dear reader, surrounds that of understanding the very essence of what this poem says, x-rays to illuminate your takeaway from some piece that makes zero sense.
