Monotonous Town
A white church at every turn
Blinking traffic lights
The suburbs bleed into each other
Houses with the same frame
The people sit in lawn chairs,
Sweep their sidewalks
And are in bed by 9, up by 5
To the same over working,
Underpaying job
The same lonely people
At the only bar in sight,
A falling apart school across
From a tiny donut shop,
I ponder as I drive
By too many dollar stores,
Will I ever get out?

Why are such places so hard to leave?
But you describe it all well. I’m in that town as I read this. Part of it just as much as your commentary of it.
Great details and thoughts about this town!
