Barrel o Monkeys

monkeys
with rifles
loom on branches
of sprawling oaks
just beyond
the hedge
they are
assassins
with black eyes
sewn behind
green lenses
they
eat squirrels
who venture too close
drink kerosene
to stay awake

they wait
patiently
methodically
endlessly
for the rain
to stop
and business
to commence
