Grandma Still Wears Denim

Grandma wears denim
and I don’t just mean
to festivals
or them button down
ankle length gowns
all the debutantes wear
nowadays ..
Grandma wears denim
and she’s proud
of those tiny black and
gold stars
temporarily pinned to
the brows
above those baby blue
eyes of hers ..
Grandma wears denim
with frayed
seams and the hems well
soaked
in patchouli, just like the
ends of her braids ..
Grandma don’t care though
she downs pints
and drops acid, just like she
always did
back in the good old days ..
