snoozing safely with my daddy in the 1820 house he restored while it stormed outside and walnuts plopped on the galvanized steel roof, riding with my parents down long dirt roads so they could sit outside with very old black men + watch them make white oak baskets, then seeing my father pay fairly for them
porch swings and tree wings, dragonflies and grackles
vengeance, gun racks, knives, and visions of revenge
getting over it by popping a couple of longnecks + smiling till it sticks
