Sonny Boy 1928 by ~karter:iconkarter:



I have a stranger in a box

Its glow goes in goes out repeat

I find it kinda hard to drive

A familiar numbing in my feet



It’s been one of those days. You know those winter days wrapped
in a piece of spring. It’s as if bitter cynicism and selfishness forgot to
get out of bed and romance could be more than just an abstract concept.
I think I’ll roll the window down
I think I’ll sing along
Cause it seems like it just might be ok

But then I hear Morgan Freeman say, “It only seems that way.”
And I remember the smug look on the weatherman’s face that hissed

“Your sunny days are over, boy.”

The bolded beginning sort of jumped at me and the extra spaces between the lines don't really seem necessary. I especially love the second stanza, and Morgan Freeman fits so well! I think the dude's got a good voice, I can almost imagine the tone. So, who's the hissing weatherman? Um, lemme guess, Danny DeVito?
:iconkarter:
No, he's tall and thin with empty eyes.
I'll call him Ronald
