Growing up in the South, you learn from an early age about racism. Our public schools taught from books that The Daughters of the Confederacy bought for schools. Eventually, we read books that actually told some truth.
I remember reading about the Civil Rights movement and its leaders. I remember learning details about Martin Luther King, Jr. I remember feeling shame to know he was assassinated in my home state of Tennessee.

I was eager to see Tennessee –
cigarettes were cheap, people moved slow +
we devoured fried chicken for breakfast –
never ventured into the country, stayed close
to anonymous highways + strip malls
that strip America of originality.

Sometimes I think of our loveas though it’s an old Southern backroadYou’re in the driver’s seatmy feet are on the dashThe roads are curvy and dictate our speedsometimes we take them slow, sometimes fastAt times they’re the straightest pathwith fields of corn on either sideThere are moments of fearbut also moments of pure joyThose old Southern backroadscan go on forever, with no end in sightMany times you ride those roadswith your most trusted companionThose Southern backroads are an adventure like none otherand it’s only you I want by my side.(Photo by Studio Dekorasyon on Unsplash)
