warm afternoons...
temperate evenings...
east Tennessee at its best
in the spring
of each year recently,
from one day to the next
we live in perplexities
not knowing what
if anything
lies ahead of us,
even though.
we are intimately familiar
with our past...
a past that brought us
through today...
we dodge our responsibilities
in favor of life both
moderate and serene
in its simplicities...
we want for nothing
making no compromises
with what we have...
we are who we are and live
accordingly... seeking no
reparations of any kind,
except maybe the stink bugs
that plague our porches...
we are as proud as we are
independent asking that
our leaders refrain from
interferences into our
ways of life... as we are
the only truthful ones left.
