She pretends to breathe into the mic in soft whispers while she subtlty scrapes her teeth on the surface. Her porcelin enamel rips away the anxiety while her eyes smile at the crowd like two butterflies dancing in an Amsterdam garden. They cheer and cheer like starved howling monkies and she feeds them what they want.

Wow. That is intense.

For me - it was particularly evocative since I heard howler monkeys in the wild for the first time this summer. They are so loud - they sound like an air plane taking off. They woke me up at dawn - in the eastern lowlands of Peru. And they weren't even starving!
