Lights Out - D-Sisive

It was just another morning

Groundhog Day

Sonny and Cher on the alarm clock way

He opened his eyes

And stared at the mug only a son’s mother could love plus

Mommy missed ten years of aging

Uncut facial hair and gained weight

Who’s to say she’d still see her baby

If she was around to stare at that face

He stared at it once, daily

Which made his thoughts escape sane

But he kept them between his temples

It was hard, trying to control the head full of shorts

That rode when he didn’t wanna watch them

He was sick of the soda, poppin' popcorn

But they played over and over

Over and over

Over and over and out

Off his mind they bounced

Allowing him to climb back in

Until the next film started

Which caused him to fall back down like Mike Douglas

Wearing black rims

But he didn’t have swing for a bat

He was better off quiet

A talkie?

He was better off not

He reached for his toothbrush

Squarded some paste on the bristles and scrubbed

His teeth for a minute

Spit

Rinse

Spit

Fresh like Prince

Wiped his mouth with the towel

Looked at his face once more

Saluted the boy in the mirror

In case I don’t see you tomorrow

Lights out
