158Sometimes I feel like a weird clustered monkey.I’d perform markedly better as a pickled egg, enmeshedin a jar or an unmarked dark box in an attic somewhere.Seeing as there aren’t any pickling plants on my side of the world—or at least no ads I’ve seen for one—I’ll hang on to my prehensile tailand unwieldly opposable thumbs.People opposite me oft gawk,trying to divine who, or what, I am,trying to close the distance between uslike a palm pressed flat on glass at a zoo exhibit.I’ll admit it, I exhibit rather non-person qualities these days, with my yearning for climbing high treesand staring back as strange human eyesundress me.Matt del busto  New Exhibit    at the Zoo
