Nip and Tuck It Away
So superficial I am/goddamn, so superficial I am/staring in the mirror not happy with the reflection/so I nip and tuck it away/not in the trash/but in the closest for the eventual day/when the proper medical treatment has been administered/and senses have been restored/a quarter century of tears and memories not even I can afford/to lose/but since that’s the situation/man up is the route I choose/nip and tuck it away/store it in a warm place/though now I choose to be cold-blooded/my spam folder is overflooded and needs to deleted/my conscience is no longer guilty/cuz that burden/ I don’t needed/nip and tuck it away/store it cryogenically cuz I won’t need it any time soon/I think I’m gonna enjoy watching my son eat from his silver spoon/cuz I didn’t get the chance to/although my momma had plans to/no house or a dog in the back yard going woof woof/ or our own roof/until I was in high school/but do hold that against her/no/it’s always been cool/cuz see/me and she grew up together/shared the same umbrella in horrible weather/which made our relationship that much better/now, when it comes to my pops/that’s where the smile stops/whether it was the semen producer/or the stepdad-director/neither one showed up on my leadership and guidance detector/but thats ok/cuz I just nip and tuck it away/to a vault with a combination I keep trying to forget/but I guess I really wanna keep my dead pops alive cuz I haven’t forgot it yet/me and my siblings have gone thru things that’s made our granny’s spirit sing/ and cry/heated exchanges that brought tears to each other’s eye/but since we the way that we are/we nipped and buried that shit/even, applied ointment to each other’s battle scar/and tucked the Neosporin away for when a new issue appears/till then I’ma provide my public with my greatness for another 30 years/yes ma’am/so superficial I am/goddamn/so superficial I am.
