Southern Mornings (Southern Girl)

Morning dew resting on my front porch with me
The tips of the trees grab hands with the morning sun and feed
Me? Oh I'm just having a lively discussion with hummingbirds and black coffee
"Hey how you doing?" I said, throwing up my hand
With one measly finger pointing outwards
I don't know who that was....
We just do it just because
It's part of the south
9 stands above high and beaming
Hedges are clipped and yard is tended to
Beads of sweat roll as though I was glass of cool sweet tea
Just condensating
Mama Jean made two pickle jars full two yesterday's ago
You talking about "slap yo mama" good
In exchange I helped with her garden
Two pickle jars full? That's a treat you can't beat
At least that's what I said until 4 and no shade
.....I think I'll go get some Gold Peak
7 starts to settle down
Everything has been done and said
I don't like to be out during biting hours
Scratching whelps made by skin diggers
not my thing
I know I can simply use Off
But they drink that too
I even burn some lavender
And caught them having pool party in the wax
Let me hush up so I can go prepare myself for another southern morning
