By the way, the quote in the title is Kari Byron's from the video. She truly is the Queen of the Geeks and Technaholics.

Monkey Tuesday: A Poem for Koko

Ape (part one)

(by Paul Vermeersch)

For Koko

Ape born in Frisco, born out of darkness of mountain
forests, out of rain that doesn't fall, but hovers.

Come, Ape, out of bushmeat trade and war zone,
out of coffee and tea for human need.

Come out of blood diamond, come out of strip mine,
out of pit viper and mosquito, out of tick.

Ape who lives in Woodside, Ape who rides in Honda,
who wears red sweater. Come speak.

Ape of legend, come. Out of colonial science, out of Bible,
come monster of Skull Island, of Original Sin, of
City of Gold, come take this kitten to your breast
and speak of love unconditional, Earthmotherhood.

What did the old men make of you, Ape, when they drew
their Victorian cartoon, when they posed for their
daguerreotype holding your scalp? Teeth of the meat-
eater, murderer's hands, bush devil, gargoyle, proof.

Come Morning Star, come Adversary, daughter of the East.
Come beast-thing, come witch, child of the Nephilim,
giant in the Earth, come demonstrate the egg-shell
gentleness of your strength.

And what did the young men make of you when they came
with their machete genocide, radiating smoke?

They made you Lamb of the wilderness, one animal's breath
at the centre of the green and white day. Hush-a-bye,
hidden, quiet with your kind on the unclimbed slopes.

There, in shadow, in the hovering rain, the family almost stirs.

No mention of "Kiss, kiss, nipple" or "Give Koko candy"? I don't think this poet understands Koko at all! And "Earthmotherhood"? What's up with that Germanesque merging of words? Bah.
