life is fast, life is slow

from here,

i can see everything

there is

to see

in this small town.

there's the church,

the stores,

the road in and the road

heading out.

schools

and gas stations.

a movie theater

and the town square.

you could spend your

life here

and never leave.

be born,

get married have

children

of your own, then grow

old.

the cemetery

is there too, waiting.

life is fast.

life is slow.
