Well, us talk and talk bout God, but I'm yet adrift. Trying to chase that sometime white man out of my caput. I been so busy thinking bout him I never truly notice nothing God brand. Not a bract of corn (how information technology practice that?) non the color purple (where it come from?). Not the footling wildflowers. Nothing. Now that my eyes opening, I feels like a fool. Next to any petty scrub of a bush in my chiliad, Mr. ____s evil sort of shrink. But not altogether.
