Greener

The Earth is flat.
Well it is when you’re doing 76 on 75
Focused on the wooly clouds
stretched across the sky
And little else but grass and crops
expanding on every side
as you increase the space between.
Some have called it lonely,
others uninspired,
But to this West Virginia woman
who finally escaped the coal cave
of cognitive dissonance and mistrust
of anything
outside the proud valley of
Friendlier Than Everyone Else,
This flat earth prairie
feels more like freedom.
