I’m an Outer Banker trapped in an outsider’s body A non-native species caught between grounds I identify as “OG” — but still nobody knows me So I sprout fresh, florid features each time I’m in town. One sticker says “OBX” Another screams “Stuck” But is that ever really enough? Better add “INDABNX” to my outta state plates Stick “252” onto my lid My favorite new hoodie touts “Life on a Sandbar” An “NC 12” tatt adds some Hatteras grit. Shout out my address in hopes of a discount Then yell at the server for dropping my card Call the cops when the college kids party past nine Sneer at that beach box with the overgrown yard. But I drown in saltwater once it goes past knee-high And I shudder in winds that gust over ten So I’ll leave in November, then come back in May And put down my roots all over again. — C. White
