Dear Minnesota,
We know this might seem sudden, but honestly, we've been thinking about this for a while.
You're right there. Just across the border. We see you at the lake. We wave. You wave back. We both say "ope" when we almost bump into each other at the boundary crossing.
We've watched you get overlooked. Flyover country, they call you. But we see you. We've always seen you.
