Music I come from a long line of porch sitters.

This is why I'm always on my porch.

In my neighborhood, I am affectionately known as that weirdo freak who always sits on his porch.

This is usually set in a positive way, of course. But I can't help it.

Since infanthood, the only place I've ever wanted to be was a porch. There I'd be,

wearing my onesie, crawling on the porch, drooling on myself, and testing the maximum capacity

limits of my diaper. Whenever my mother's friends visited, they would pick me up, they would take me inside,

and I would start crying.

Then they would return me to the floorboards and say,

there's something wrong with Sue's baby.

People would continue saying this for many years thereafter.

My current porch is a modest place, but a beautiful place and peaceful.

You can hear far off trains passing through Birmingham or listen to neighborhood dogs

communicating via the International Bark Telegraph.
