Eating ain't the only thing we dig in to at Miss Pearl's on Oak and Magnolia
We marvel at the woman behind the counter, too, the gumption it took
to imagine a diner at seventy, and to see it through, too,
so we're not just nibblin' on catfish, we're celebrating what it takes to make one's way
from there to here
