the headlight

dear elvis diary,

happy birthday elvis. i wonder how different the world would be if you were still alive? are you still alive? my mom thought you were a spawn from the devil, but i think she was just secretly sexually attracted to you. she listened to your music all the time, i used to catch her. she let my little brother dress-up like you on halloween in 1979, he was 8, and you're who he wanted to be that year. after weeks of begging, our mother made his costume and slicked his hair back and everything. i hope you find my mom up there in Heaven and hang out with her sometime. she would love that prolly.
