DILLIGAF by Jason Melvin

Stitched between the shoulder blades
just above the skull
Leather vest on a broad back
two large hogs
waiting at the stop light
I Have to sing it
Lyrical non-sensical word
jumping off a biker’s back
Wifey joins in
a pause and an ask
WTH’s a DILLIGAF?
Fifteen in the backseat
informs the uniformed
respectfully leaving a blank
on that last letter
Jason Melvin received a gimmicky T-shirt from his teenage daughter on Christmas with a picture of one large fist fist-bumping a much smaller fist. The caption read, “Behind every smart-ass daughter is a truly asshole Dad”. It fit. Twitter: @Jason5Melvin Instagram: @Jasonmelvin5
