I think he meant the phrase "hairless ape" to be parsed together, to indicate human. Not a ((weak, hairless, ape) body) but a ((weak, hairless-ape) body)

- mlevental 8y agoI get it but aren't there hairless apes that are very strong? I just meant it's the wrong poetic flourish
- pilsetnieks 8y agoThe only references I can find to hairless apes (that aren't humans) are chimp that are either shaved or have alopecia.
