Seven Words and Groundhog Day

Prompt: Create something with these words dictionary, have fun.
freighter shoot sock cut hammer estimate psychology

=============

Within me, a freighter carrying
hammers for knocking out idols
to sock or shoot them out
with quixotic likelihood.

In psychology’s estimate,
this is a guise of self-esteem
or the self taking off on its own.

Which way you cut it,
I get the short end of the stick
not knowing
everyone I love will be safe
from my freighter or my hammers
for knocking out idols

or from the hole in my head.

Prompt: You just stepped in the movie Groundhog Day, and everything in your life keeps repeating over and over. Is having do-overs a good thing or a bad thing? What will it take for the spell to break?

========

I would so hate that! I don’t read the same book twice. I hate rewrites. Edits I’ll take, but rewrites drive me up the wall. It is a miracle I lived with my husband for 52 years, to his credit, not mine.

My life repeating over and over would just about kill me if I am conscious of it. Better, if someone hit me on the head and knocked me out.

I don’t know what would make the spell to break. Imagining, I am in such a situation while I am aware of it, I would probably do something extraordinary or drastic to get out of it or else, it would have to be an interference from the higher power.
