never leave the town
they were born in.
they stay put, stay close
to where they went
to school
where their parents still
live, growing old.
there's the church.
the stores.
the fields. all the people
they used to know,
and still do.
they can never leave this
town.
their feet are planted
forever in this ground,
which is where
they'll be buried when
the time comes.
