Bonobo

If a bonobo could speak

What would it do with its credit cards

Drivers license

Proof of Insurance and

Money

That first fall after buying a new smart phone

Would a Bonobo shove its phone and wallet into one pocket and

It’s keys into another

Hoping that it wasn’t doing permanent damage to nerves in the leg

Or its nut sack

Do bonobo’s have nut sacks that would be problematic in a pair of jeans

If it didn’t have jeans

Would a money clip be the only way to go

For a bonobo that had conquered speech

And where would it put it

No

A bonobo is better off where it is

Dazzling us more advanced creatures

With its mastery of signs and symbols
