marlon (Free verse) by bearhead
We are like gorillas Never looking right at each other ~it might be a threat; Trained circus apes are less obvious than we~ This crazy dance holds all The flavor of bananas. And like a neanderthal I just discovered fire But don't yet have a salve For the burns.

Up the ladder: Prop a Panda

"This crazy dance holds all
The flavor of bananas."
I like this line, but think you should come up with a more specific adjective than "crazy" before dance.

Yeah, drew a blank on that line - how's "swinging"?

I was thinking "rabid", but I don't have your vision of what it looks like.

What similes, as well. this is fun. I wouln't hold "crazy" against you for this, as it sounds appropriately neanderthal.
