Carefully choreographed
The telling of tales
Grandfather Stories
Curated in the front seat of a Buick LaSabre
On black top highways across the Lone Star State
Grandchildren of the Greatest Generation
In the back seat, ready for the ride
The adventures ahead
Little papa, my Papacito
The keeper of stories
Had a gun that he kept at his side
When he drove men and boys
Whose skin looked different than ours
To scout meetings and church
So children could change the future
In 1964, he was fighting Jim Crow . . .
