Switched

Zoo opens at 6am
everyone wakes up and gets free breakfast.
The older monkeys prepare to entertain while the young ones are getting ready for training.

1pm
after everyone has done their first shift of the day we get paid in lunch.
No one really likes the food, but we will eat whatever they hand us because it will keep us alive.
Work ins't too bad though, we can make fun of every human that walks by for entertainment.

4pm
The day is almost over and the crowds start to leave.
a long day of work almost over with another paycheck received.

zoo closes at 8pm, we call this fun time, when we dont have to work.
our supervisers have gone home leaving only the janitors.
most of us fling our feces the janitors and laugh at them while they clean it up.
What a shitty job.

Closing time is what everyone looks forward to during work.
It is a releif after a long day of work, to keep us going.
Tomarrow we repeat the same process.
Happily.

eve

I still dotn agree with that comment you made, but ive become sort of a fan of yours, and i would never bash your thoughts on the succes of the poetic world. and it is true that mindlessly recording one's emtions worked for Poe, but poetry is more than just throwing your anger and hatred on a peice of paper. Its a skill and takes much practice, thats why every one cant do it. You have that skill.
