Zippo Lighters

As I lay here, looking up at the dark sky, through the jungle gym bars,
Thinking "if I'd have finished school, I'd drive a nicer car"
You wanna go for a ride in my car?
They smile but don't slow down.

Helium ballons touching the bottoms of the clouds,
String, flying right behind, like a candy bar wrapper in a storm.

Little Magic carpet in the drivewY, ready to go,
Your robot wife, has a pink vibrator in her hand as she screams at you to wash the car.

Your daughter burns her skin with a lighter
You quit smoking so that you'll live.
Zippo lighter, laying on the sofa. . . ..
. . . . Used to pour lighter fluid om jeans
Light it with a zippo, and run out in front of cars. .

It sounds like you're f*****g hammered, brother - on a Sunday night, no less. Could be wrong, but there are some typos there that read like slippery-liquor fingers.

Either way, you've just described my nightmare - if I wind up with a robot wife, orchestrating her instructions through a pink-rubber d***o, you have my express permission to shoot me in the face. Can't think of any reason not to hit the sauce, either, in that event.

Lol. Good to meet you D, I'm Ook. Thanks for sharing your portrait of domestic suicide. A healthy dose of nihilism goes a long way in this place - reminds us not to take any of it too seriously.

Cheers

No I was high but don't drink much anymore. Alot of the typos are tremors, that are new to Me but with all the head trauma I had back in my 20s, my mind is a chilling place most of the time. Thank you for reading tbis

Well, I'm sorry to hear that - apologies for the insinuation. I hope you give me some grace on that one, believe it or not I was trying to lighten the mood. Lol

I knew a guy once with tremors, epilepsy, I think, kind of thing that can't be helped. And as for cold minds, I'm of the opinion that writing the stuff down can often relieve us of having to carry it throughout the day. Lord knows, it sounds like you've got cause to want some relief.

Cheers again, bud - good health and dark poems to you, may they abate the chill. : )
