I wish my heart were in better shape to love you

for Larry Conway & Harry Dean Stanton

In an alternate timeline,
I am someone’s greasy Papaw
banished to his beer shed
listening to Heart guitar solos with glee.
My Miley Cyrus oiled-up bikini poster
glistening in the golden hour.
I adjust a radiator of something that’ll never run again.
I make my grandkids roll my joints,
using their government-funded Juicy Juice to make wine to sell in my dry county.

Make it stand out
