It’s just beans, after all, the cause of square farts, as my sister used to say with a giggle on the end.
From the dried, soaked-in-water variety to beans in the can-baked beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans . But I like how free sounds all poetic-like.īeans ain’t free, but they’re on the cheap, and here in the Obed Wild and Scenic River National Park, dubbed “the Hundred Acre Wood,” I must know close to one hundred ways to fix beans. Happiness is free, Mama says, as sure as the blinkin’ stars, the withered arms the trees throw down for our fires, the waterproofin’ on our skin, and the tongues of wind curlin’ the walnut leaves before slidin’ down our ears. Or the creek itself, babblin’ music all day long like Nessa when she was a baby. Like, the way the white-hot mornin’ light dances in diamonds across the surface of our creek. Mama says no matter how poor folks are, whether you’re a have, a have-not, or break your mama’s back on the cracks in between, the world gives away the best stuff on the cheap.
