I forgot about everything
That I had
along the sand pipes of Virginia.

The windy streets of the stew pot pie
the southern drawl of grits
between the early eye.

The churches filled
to the words of a preacher;
the suits and dresses
colored the high ceiling spectrum.

I forgot my worries,
strolling down the avenue
where the stores were closed
but a shoe shine was offered

to a man without a southern voice.

Thanks for the travel snapshot
and the 'hidden' stories one can conjure up
within a mouthful of 'grits' memories.
