Counting cars on the front stoop in summer
One, two, three punch buggy no punch back
Lemonade for me and sweet tea for you
This is The South, after all
Only it’s hockey instead of football that’s on the television in my house but
We don’t talk about that since
I say you guys instead of y’all but
We don’t talk about that since
Your daddy has a confederate flag on his porch but
We don’t talk about that since
I grow up and you grow up and we don’t agree on the racial nor gender politics of time but
We don’t talk about that since
I don’t use the term culture of amnesia or white paternalism around you since
We count cars on the front stoop in summer
One, two, three punch puggy no punch back
A tall glass of political awareness for me and a shot of traditionalism for you
and silence between us but
We don’t talk about that since
This is The South, after all
