Fix It

Fix It. (Tom Entrican, 6-6-2019)

 

When the bread just won’t stay down

And refuses to turn brown

When the toaster just won’t toast

How do you make it?

When the tele has no vision

And the music has no sound

When the boogie just won’t boog

Where can you take it?

 

When the wheels refuse to turn

Fossil fuels it will not burn

When the auto won’t mobile

Do you just park it?

When your legs will not stand

And you brace the best you can

When the distance just expands

How can you fix it?

 

When the inner starts to fight

Beating back all signs of light

When your face no longer smiles

How do you fake it?

When the heart still beats a sound

But no life there can be found

When it sinks below the ground

How can you take it?

 

When the eyes start to dim

And can only see the grim

When the vision just knows pain

How do you stop it?

While you shuffle through the day

And there’s nothing left to say

And you turn the world away

How can you love it?
