Reflections on the Death of Cheetah

( 1923- 2011 )
Chimpanzee star of Blasck & White Tarzan Jungle Adventure Movies

I didn';t even know he was real.
Like everybody else
I imagined Cheetah had died
before we were even born,
afterall-- he was just a monkey
and mere monkeys come and go..

but Cheetah was born a proud animal in captivity amongst humans long ago
and lived in this world
along with us all
endured and experienced
the many thousands of the same sunsets as we did,
in his lifetime cage
watched the same tv shows and B movies
as we all did
and listened to eight decades
of pop music offerings
experienced the same art expression
and smelled the carbon exhaust
of machine age progress as we did
and more.. so much more

therefore, thanks to the example of Cheetah who lived in out world
for 80 years just like our own
aged heros of human civilization
there is so much more
he demonstrates that which
we dare not even think about
all of which was
made manifest to Cheetah
true to who he was
and a mirror reflection
and a sharp contrast
to who each of us are


what then,
of the infinite miracles of heaven that await yet to arrive ?
that what we have not even considered?

Have a banana and think about it
or just have a banana
and don;t think about it
are there in this reality
whether we believe in them
ow whether we experience them
-- or not

long live Cheetah & his
angelic family of animals
hooray for the potential of eternity
we sometimes forget is there
to believe and experience
