"end of january" by Tim G. Young

end of january

it's the end, the end of january

the sky cries like a broken toy

able to leap over garbage cans

the mouse eats the cheese

the cat eats the mouse

won't somebody holler please

the end the end of a another january

is anybody taking notes

how does this fucking boat float?

watch out for sharks and reefs razor sharp

watch out for watching out about all the noise

hey did anybody see that star fly by?

about a million light years from home

bowie said five years is all we got

must be something around here

i never knew about

ahhhhhhhhhh

c'mon honey let's go get stoned

the night is falling

where did you say we were going?

another question mark blocks my vision

i need to turn a corner

to see where i'm going

mark the map well my friend

in case we've been here before

i 'd hate to make the same trip twice

but maybe i could if there was only

a swig of something nice

oh hell don't let me slide into this rhyming thing

i'd rather wrap my legs around the toilet

and let the cards fly where they may

did i mention I wanted to visit jupiter?

i hear there is so much room there

not even enemies can find one another

and the mcdonalds swear at each other

call me when february makes the scene

Your stuff is always so much fun to read and imagine in one's head. If you want some constructive crit I'd do away with anyhow in line 9, and I'd let the star fly by in line 12. But the cool thing is it's your creation and you can end any line you want any way you want. So here's to freedom for writers and another great piece from Tim!
