667
The beast has come out of the sea
To perch upon my back.
I think he ate the monkey
Previously there.
At any rate,
Neither the non-monkey nor I care.
Nor does the beast.
For he is the last to come
And he is staying.
Are you?
Why?
For answers to these questions,
Ask the beast.
He will interrogate the undigested monkey
And the monkey will ask me.
However, as I cannot yet understand
Monkey-talk,
I will be unable to answer.
Which is just as well,
Because I had nothing to say.
