The sky
is that beautiful old parchment
in which the sun and the moon
keep their diary.

Mushrooms: A Book of Free Forms (1916)

I am four monkeys.
One hangs from a limb,
tail-wise,
chattering at the earth;
another is cramming his belly with cocoanut;
the third is up in the top branches,
quizzing the sky;
and the fourth—
he’s chasing another monkey.
How many monkeys are you?
