Ozark Hills
Motorcycles
zoom down pig trails and twisting roads.
Beware,
wildlife will knock at the door or hide inside.
Arkansas
dumb laws: don’t wake up a bear to photograph,
or
an alligator in your bathtub. Diamond digging
is
allowed in a mud field as is, catching fish in the rain.
Wild
persimmon fruit predicts winter, seed-shaped
spoon,
deep snow or a fork, mild winter. Flatlanders
and
hill people eat, poke sallet, muscadine, pawpaws,
wild
hog, squirrel with dumplings and drink, sweet tea.
Ghosts
roam buildings while Boggy Creek Monster
wanders
aimlessly. Old witches do hocus pocus,
and
turkeys fly during Turkey Trot Festival.
