I wish

Elvis never died
Indulging in deep fried
Peanut butter and bacon
Sandwiches
And
Prescription pills

I too
Wish to have
A false celebrity passing
A cholesterol confused death
comfortably wedge myself
Into the past
Wonderfully stoned
Oblivious to reality
And the world
I have corrupted?

I wish to expire an Elvis
Buried in a blanket of blondes
Fighting my cheeseburger addiction
