monkey boy

my sister sent this picture of me when i got my cool planet of the apes mask and gun for christmas back in 197whatever. i wore it in the car up to our cousin's in bear mountain and stared at all the people in the passing cars. I remember that it collected lots of saliva in the mouth area, or maybe i was just having trouble breathing...

I like this picture- didn't know it existed... i was a pretty skinny little kid- i only remember being a fat little kid...

I'm in a transitional phase these days, so I see meaning in everything- here is my inner child, masked as a monkey (brewing a stew of monkey-mind only to be unraveled 30 years or so later - i hope) armed and poised for battle
