How
did I end up
on that hill
with Bubbas in giant trucks and Walmart hovering above me like a spaceship waiting to fire it’s deadly weapons upon a sleeping population.
How
did I end up
on that hill
where instead of hearing symphonies and exploring parks filled with trees and blue and green benches and quiet side streets where sometimes wind chimes sing, I hear the endless cries of ” GIT HER DUN ” from boys in camo shirts and ZZ Top beards and the all purpose reply of ” I know right ” from women who drift around in a haze of Aqua Net and dollar store perfume.
How
did I end up
on that hill
Did I die in my sleep, was I hit by a car, did I trip and fall down the stairs
am I dead
am I
in Hell?

An all time favorite bumper sticker “Pray for me, I drive Meridian”.
I’d rather do the Mercer Mess!
I’d rather be sticking splinters under my fingernails then to be any near here…😝😝😝
