Grandma Wears Denim

Neville

Grandma 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 ..

          Never caught any of my nan's in denim. It probably isn't as comfortable a garment to don at a certain age.

            ah' but she was never caught in them, she always gave herself up 🙂

            • arqios
