tell me about the small town
they grew up in.
how no one locked their doors.
everyone knew
just about everyone,
growing up
in the same
schools and churches.
all shopping at
the corner store.
the mailman was my sister's
husband.
the garage mechanic,
my cousin.
the local doctor delivering
babies, and grandbabies.
the weddings
in the town square.
the lake, the trees, the rolling
hills.
and then i ask,
why on earth did you pack
up and leave?
for this?
