The Reset Button

I can’t find the reset button.
I want to reset my life and play back the good bits like a movie.
I want to relive the time when I spent hours just kissing her.
I want to relive that time we spent at the beach together
Young and lithe and rolling in the waves like in that movie.
I want to take acid for the first time again
and be entertained by the patterns on my Persian rug.
I want to make love for the first time again.
I want to go surfing for the first time at dawn again
When the waves are all golden and frothy.
I want to see my children born again
Like little clay dolls
And then they’re alive and looking up at me and I’m crying.
But I want to relive the bad times too,
The angry times.
The time I told my dad to ‘F’ off, it made me feel like a man.
The time I smashed my fist in to my brother’s jaw and laid him out
And looking at the skin ripped off my knuckles
wondering if that was my blood or his.
I want to relive it all and feel way up and way down
Cause all emotions are good if they’re extreme.
You know you like crying as much as you like laughing sometimes.
So, tell me, where do I find the reset button?
This made me think of the following. Promise you won't laugh to hard!

Time for my shave of the day.
I have yet to see a sun ray.
To lighten a picture,
of my aftershave tincture.
