Jumanji- /2002/


I sat in front of
The class
In the muggy south of china
Little baby Chinese children
Smiling wide
And not
Realizing that it
Is so unfair
To be in school in the summertime
Jumanji was on
The rolling TV set and
I asked them to
Name the animals
In english
As they
Came up on the screen,
Like the elephants
And giraffes
But none as cute
As all the little faces
Screaming
“Monnnkeeeeeeyyyysss!”
In the afternoon heat.
