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?

— Alfred Kreymborg Mushrooms: A Book of Free Forms (1916)
