I come to the amazing Monkey King himself
Sun Wukong (‘awakened to emptiness’)
Who could freeze gods as well
As men transforming himself
Into anything except for his tail
But ‘capable of defeating
The best warriors of heaven’
Until Buddha laid a mountain on his head
For five hundred years
All this preceding Orestes or Job
A grand theory of revolution
The stone monkey jumps into the waterfall
And becomes the first king
‘He had three special hairs’
