I heard from a mutual friend that you had a kid and I thought, great, another Republican born into the world locked and loaded.
Down here in blueberry land we gang up on the crossing guards. Two feet flat I never doubt I am the majority. My stiff upper lip can get pretty limp from its idleness but when I go back to Mississippi, oh boy, watch out.
I’m surprised you visit Austin. I bet your Bible boils in your back pocket along with your 420 cigarettes.
You hypocrite.
I never liked the way you pouted your lips at men you swore you’d never sleep with. I never liked how ashamed I felt at asking you for favors, even though we split the Claire’s Boutique best friend necklace straight down the middle in middle school and for a while there we never looked back.
You want religion? Try this: one day thou beautiful face will no longer erase thy ugliness underneath. Your racist thoughts and mean parts and the murky past you tiptoe around like a polluted lake will come rushing out like fits of rain in Noah’s chapter of the book written by the God you try to steal from people far more deserving.
