Minnesota's Public Radio

hood covered lutherns wear their naratives 
under a furrow of clouds.

their earmuffed headphones filled with lukewarm 
monotones from garrison kiellor.

they discuss the  northern progressive aesthetic and 
of what it means to 'feel minnesotan'. 

gathering together in an east wind they descend
 down along icy tundra's to form weavers guilds in
the grass. 

they read faulkner and hawthorne paperbacks
talking a little less nonsense than most. 

where strong coffee meets warn out floor mats 
a hand radio with a little static and a little oscillating
magnetic current searches through the snow driven
clouds for warmth and reason.

Reminds me of home. Thanx for the imagery. I'm from Minnesota, born and raised. Currently surviving Seattle.
