"I said fair well, I'll see you judgment day. It is so hard to love someone that don't love you."
"I say soon this morning I wuz feeling 'round for my shoes." I learned that phrase was an omen for impending "bad news".
They say my grandmother Rachel was the best at interpreting "signs". As far as I know she was always 100%. Did she know her daughter was a demon or at least demon possessed? Was she trying to pawn Martha off as "normal"?
'If I don't nevah no mo' see ya…" ! Gut-got-tuh-mighty! You don' know nuttin' bout that unless you picked cotton! worked in 'bacca', rode in the back of a pick up truck, fished in a creek with a homemade fishing pole, ,dipped snuff, stole watermelons, put a nickel in Sunday school and kept 20cents -for-your-self-because-you-knew-GOD-didn't-care-because-He-had-everything-and-Mr-Lonnie-Mac's-store-was-far-too-tempting.
I am howling! This man just said; "If I don't go crazy…I'blieve I'm 'gon lose my mind." Is that not genius? Ghetto Shakespeare!
