Eddie From Ohio
Minnesota 1945
My mother was a black woman and my father was a white man And in the middle of a midwestern winter they took cover in the night... And they talked about injustice And they talked about freedom And they talked about Hitler And made love to piss him off And they talked about forgiveness And they cried for their loneliness And they talked about belonging--immigrant lives And the snow raged past the window And they held on to each other And they stared out at Minnesota And everything looked the same
