type writer.
vinyl grooves.
denim corduroy
seventies hues.
les paul sunburst
born to wrong tunes.

don’t turn your back
on the recklessness of youth.
the wide eyed promises
of rock and roll
might not fit as well
around the waist
and waddled throat.
chipped black nail polish.
smeared eye liner,
broken reflections
of dreams barely had.

a candle in a wine bottle
and hand made shoes.
roots exposed
through bleach.

it all seems silly
in the rearview
unless we’re
driving in a loop.
