My dad is an enigma He’s getting older but is Healthier than guys 30 years younger than him I’m convinced it’s because he drinks white wine from sun up to sun down and is performing a ritual of slow embalming
And his fridge has an assortment of salad dressings and Clamato juice That were good in 2008 And he eats it saying “It’s fine, best by dates are just marketing”
And god ****** if he doesn’t wake up kicking and content every day
A solid mass of boxed wine and 6 year old salad dressing All over confident opinions and ***** jokes Feeding foxes kibble in the backyard Feeding his dogs liverwurst and chocolate ice cream Crying in front of strangers at documentaries about people in countries he’s never been to
An obelisk of weirdness in a sea of pale mediocrity
And he’ll let you know He wouldn’t want to be any other way.
