North Dakota Day

My heritage.

My father was born
In North Dakota.
My beloved spent a year
In Fargo.
Being a definite outsider
He found it strange
Chickpeas were found
In the exotic food aisle.
No one liked when he made coffee
For his department.
He added way too many
Extra scoops
To fix the usual pale concoction.
Today
Returning to my roots
(It seems)
I made the coffee weak.
I don’t usually do this.
I declare today
North Dakota Day.
