Louisville Defend(h)er
Honey nut cheerios trickling down
the edges of my spine
finding the hidden past of those
right on point flapjacks
yea those were simpler time
Grandmamma used to make it
So
that you would request them for dinner
I can't imagine my life with it not in them
Honey oats carousing the tail of my skin
Most would say I'm caramel
But on the checklist
I'm black
thin as thin
Prevailed to survive
the beginning
of the end
that moved left
What would you know if all the secrets were kept?
