This particular forest

They want a forest.
This particular forest.
A forest far away.
They want to say they're there.
They want to say they've been.
They want to think the monkeys
are happy in between -
The tug of war,
the human fights,
the obvious question marks.
They want this forest.
But, why this forest?
I have not understood-
what is so special about these monkeys?
Have they got diamonds on the soles of their shoes?
Do they know about their walking blues?
