"Grow up tall,
little kid,"
said grandpa Joe.
And so I did.

The watermelon grow tall too.
The sunflowers look to the sky,
keeping their chins up,
raised real high.

So maybe it's silly,
watching grass grow,
but if you never try,
how could you ever know?

So maybe it's crazy,
chanting for the rain,
but if it never comes,
how could I grow the grain?

I'd prefer to stare at clouds,
than sleep forever like a rock,
skidding by life.
Why, that would just ****!

So, if you ask me to leave this here place,
you better shove it,
before you wake up
in an unknown space,
******* with lace,
with a disfigured face,
completely full of mace,
and a strange case
of something poisonous.

the racist lesbian
who once called me
an uppity ******
who forgot where I came from

just had a baby
in West Virginia
who will grow up
without a father

or any mother
to support his escape
from a hick-*** town
if he even wanted

so I can't laugh too hard
and I say God Bless
'cause that's what they say
where I was raised

and if I walk around college
calling that white trash
it would only mean
that she was right
