Oh, that’s cornball.
a library doesn’t need a shiny gold sculpture
a simple, content man
only needs a fried bologna sandwich
to be as fine as frog hair
so many pink, yellow, and white bands intertwined
lay slack against his thin wrists
What’s your favorite color, Papaw?
the painkillers answer pink
to please his only granddaughter
Canned spam.
Cigarette smoke.
Macaroni noodles with canned tomatoes.
Trips to the library on early-out school days.
My own getaway driver.
A cut-up, he instilled and inspires my humor.
Ask me how I am.
Just fine?
No. Fine as Frog Hair.
