Three poor white girls grew up to be unwitting historians,
of all that came between the brothers Bienville and Iberville...
the unchartered trails, the contradictions, the bond, and the adventure.

Three poor white girls gave birth to three poor sons,
strangers to each other and their pasts.
And when one son searches for a few bucks
amongst his mom's bobby pins, matchbooks, and broken earrings,
as he rushes through his own life,
an artifact will cascade down to his worn sneakers.
He'll pick it up and toss it back into the drawer.

He won't know to ask.
He doesn't know how much a poor girl can collect.
