em a olsén – Two Poems
Southern Legitimacy Statement:
I am a native-born Texan, and I now live in Mobile, Alabama. Need I say more?
Oh, all right: I love fried pies, preferably peach. I never sweat, no matter how hellaciously hot and humid the weather—though I will admit to an occasional glow.
Special Southern Legitimacy Note:
Mobile counts down the seconds to the arrival of the New Year with the dropping of a giant moonpie from the tallest building in town.
