Big Green Apple

For Gay

don’t it always seem to go
in the last conversation
before you go to bed
for no reason, tectonic plates shift
& the feng shui is all wrong
so you keep a compass handy
wrapped in dry cleaner bags
also a cure for bleeding
in the era of disco
around all sorts of produce
granny smiths don’t seem to fit
so we go look for another brand
when a big green apple
took away my old man
