\u201cYou give them money<\/p>\n

They eat dirt\u201d<\/p>\n

My grandma says<\/p>\n

As she downs her fourth tequila shot<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I argue with my brother<\/p>\n

About the Columbian Exchange<\/p>\n

I call it genocide<\/p>\n

He calls it natural selection<\/p>\n

College made him dumb<\/p>\n

Thinks he knows the world because he read about it in a<\/p>\n

book<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m learning about the election from across the table<\/p>\n

A Catholic woman argues<\/p>\n

Her religious right<\/p>\n

As she sips red wine<\/p>\n

Taking the half of the host that gets her drunk<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They dance<\/p>\n

White wedding dress across hardwood floors<\/p>\n

Like fall leaves blown around by winter wind<\/p>\n

Trees bowing at their beauty<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The couple laughs and smiles and cries and hugs and<\/p>\n

kisses<\/p>\n

Frozen in their perfect night<\/p>\n

Before they have to return to how the world actually is<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I can\u2019t remember<\/p>\n

If I ever heard wedding bells ring<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
