I was a monkey

I was chosen at a young age to be a monkey.

It was televised.

No one saw it.

They were all at work or school.

There is a VHS recording of it.

But the VHS is not in my possession.

It is locked somewhere I do not have the key to.

I have a tattoo of a key in negative space on my wrist.

My flesh is a key.

I have not yet figured out what it opens

…

My sister told me a joke.

She said

“I am a gold lock”

and I said

“I am a gold key”

“I am a silver lock”

“I am a silver key”

“I am a bronze lock”

“I am a bronze key”

“I am a mon lock”

…

The was an alternate version

where I was a donkey instead
