No monkey has died
during isolation. When
initially removed from
total social isolation,
however, they usually
go into a state of
emotional shock,
characterized by ...
autistic self-clutching and rocking.
One of six monkeys
isolated for 3 months
refused to eat after release
and died 5 days later.
The autopsy report attributed death
to emotional anorexia.

Monkey babies cling
to fabric mothers,
ignoring wire rivals:
clothes hangers with food.
The same part of me
reaches for you
even in sleep
and hungers when you are not there.
