country music

I listen to country music.

I've never liked sushi,

I don't try to bike uphill,

I let my hair knot in the summer wind, 

I'd let a man front the bill.

I drive too close to the wheel, 

and i listen to country music

cause it has taught me how to  feel. 

I'm always the first to laugh at smiles,

I'm the first to cry at screams,

I do my best contemplating on sidewalks for miles,

I do my best sharing when someone touches my skin,

and i listen to country music 

to learn who to let in. 

I am terrible with numbers, 

I think in letters and poetry, 

I dont lack excitement or enthusiasm 

I really struggle with clarity.

and you are a man-

 from a country song, 

without the boots and hat 

but this is the real world, 

so we can do without that.
