LJ Idol: Where I'm From

[dakotawitch]

But way back, where I come from,
We never mean to bother
We don't like to make our passions other people's concern
So we walk in a world
Of safe people
And at night we walk into
Our houses
And burn      -- Dar Williams, "Iowa

Lovely! Wonderful!

A beautiful description of a people you know inside out. Filled with love and respect, and humor.

Great job!

This was a great description of the Midwest, with great use of details, like the egg salad sandwich and "visitation" instead of wake. Very well done!
