Laura Minor: Four Poems
Southern Legitimacy Statement:
My dead Aunt Sheri Lynn (R.I.P.) drank so much sweet tea, when the doctor took her off it, she hid tea bags in the couch cushions. I cracked pecans with great aunts Sissie, Tricie, Virgie, Jewel (married to Rule), Bobbie, Nanny, ... I forgot the rest of their names. I used to live across the street from 'Skynyrd's summer home on the river. I've dated a Molly Hatchet Roadie. Uncle Eddie (also R.I.P.) had the 'Hatchet gold record on his wall centered perfectly between two buck heads that he picked up in a pawn shop after a twenty year + dispute with the band over pulling the plug on one of their early shows ("Loulou, I'm the only man to ever pull the plug on Hatchet!") If none of this works, I have a rope swing scar.
