@madschimento Love everyone, practice courteous detachment, and when in doubt, consult your autographed first edition of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

@pinchjournal I’m submitting…have to support my Alma Mater!

[Kristin Keyes Literary @KeyesLit]

My son is listening to “Somewhere Only We Know,” by Keane and I can’t help but think it is because I used to play it when he was little.

@mooninabucket @rickdowlearn Think roadside rest-stops. Stuckeys is your aunt who smokes Marlboro Gold and waits tables. She walked so Buccees could run.

[Kristin Keyes Literary @KeyesLit]

@rickdowlearn Stuckeys makes for better stories.

@gritvanwinkle @mattmoran_music Forgiven. It happens.

[Kristin Keyes Literary @KeyesLit]

@gritvanwinkle @melissacuisine Then you have a senior (me, where did time go?) who is already “over it” and ready to graduate. Enjoy every day! It goes so fast.

Cormac McCarthy, what a writer

[Kristin Keyes Literary @KeyesLit]

Sometimes you need
To eat fried rice
Drink a tequila
And think
About red wheelbarrows chickens
And rainwater

So much depends on it

[Kristin Keyes Literary @KeyesLit]

Back after a long hiatus for Lent. I can see not much has changed.

@cypresswalls And then I got a speeding ticket driving home…

[Kristin Keyes Literary @KeyesLit]

@cypresswalls Love the ladder seats!

[Kristin Keyes Literary @KeyesLit]

@vt_mn101 @KeenanPeachy Public school admin—-this is 100 percent true. Plus, kid can stay local, still live at home, and save some money. If a kid plays their cards right today, they can graduate with an associates degree.

And the can of tomatoes was, indeed, a dollar

[Kristin Keyes Literary @KeyesLit]

I wrote a poem called “Dollar General Millionaire” and @CowboyJamboree published it. I’m currently here at my corner DG buying canned tomatoes because I’m out and I need them for gumbo.

[Kristin Keyes Literary @KeyesLit]

@cypresswalls Enjoy! Thank you for supporting @gritvanwinkle @CowboyJamboree

[Kristin Keyes Literary @KeyesLit]

My short story about a crawfish boil and a church closing is published in this issue. Also, a little ditty I wrote about buying lottery tickets at the Dollar General.
