A Song for the Yak

I feel pain
a yak says
when I stick a backgammon set
in my eye
or Celine Dion


I should clarify
the yak says
grammar is a rich ape that gets
someone else to swing from the trees
while it slumps in a deckchair
text messaging
those who wait


O rich ape
the yak says
sometimes I get Celine Dion
in my eye
