Streets are cobbled west of here
waterways decide
thousands visit soggy streets
and awkwardly arrive.
We don't need a master plan
our town decides we rain
whether we shall meet again
depends on the flood plain.
DC has its laid out streets
planned to capture souls
we have mountains green retreats
for those escape the trolls.
Bridges of Madison County
for all the movie stars
while we can do with trailer dates
vape and old cigars.
Zillow shows where sellers be
we have a brand new Sheetz
relatives from New England
mess with our voting.
Railroad tunnels ten feet tall
Five mile per hour signs
cheap motels and one race track
smoke signals to the sky.
We compensate for awkward streets
with one great line of power
drills down a couple hours each year
ignored by fields and flowers.
No matter we have barbecue
bowling aisles and balls
slowly wobble toward the pins
in line till Jesus calls.
Good and bad is everywhere
we hear pins drop at night
no one listens to the news
the world falls down
we write.
Send our little emails
pay another bill
twenty year old Hondas
in the driveway still.
Never say forever
next stop is a new search
stars arranged in many ways
while we learn to preserve.
