Rocketship

I'm gonna build me a Rocketship.

Fast, sleek and spaceworthy.

It'll have one seat, one joystick

and a table good for a bowl of goldfish.

On the last day of my life,

I'll fly it to the hairy ass end of the Universe

where nobody likes to be.

Then with tender fingers and solemn face

feed the fish and bid goodbye

to my only saving grace.

Cut the power

Unclothe my body

of shame, of fear

and the little demons that whisper in my ear.

I'm taking a little walk

beyond the airlock.

Then right there

at the hairy ass end of the universe

I'd suck a lungful

where there's no air

and scream

where there's no breath :

Goddamnit, is this it?
