“Kentucky, I Love You” by Whitney Collins

Her Limestone BonesKentucky isn’t really in
The Southeast
Or Deep South
Or Midwest
Or Northeast
Or Mid-Atlantic
Or Plains States
Or High Plains

It’s just there

In the middle
Like Jan Brady

Like Jan Brady
Drinking good bourbon
Straight from the bottle

And giving everyone the finger

In a nice, friendly sort of way

Whitney Collins,
