Old man and a Dongle

Driving down two-lane roads,

listening to brown sugar,

fire and rain

Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Beatles

It’s mid 21st century

but he still in the sixties,

maybe the seventies

Old man playing music

on his iPhone attached

to the dashboard with a dongle

The music is old,

he is older

no matter the technology

It’s rock ‘n’ roll

guitar and the beat of the drum

playing so loud

He can almost hear

his dead father telling him

to turn it down.
