When I had my mid-life crisis I decided to make a stand against the monstrosity that is time itself.
I threw away all my clocks and endeavored to live my life
according
to the rise and fall of the planets.
My life changed in many amazing ways until the day I got fired from my job, burned the pot roast
and forgot all about the little orphan that I had hidden in the attic.
I will never forget the look on his tiny face or the pain
in my crotch
when he kicked me where the sun doesn't always shine.
