We have a Midwest; I’ve decided we therefore need a Mideast.
I’m in Bloomington Indiana. Happy Belated Birthday DLR.
Earlier today I logged
Harrisonburg VA,
Oak Hill WV,
Lexington & Louisville.
When I’m here I remember why I moved to California.
(Everything east of OK City, north of Atlanta, and south of Boston
is basically the same.)
It is dark & depressing here in January,
just as it’s humid & disgusting in July,
but right now it’s January and yikes.
Outside in the gray cold, people scrunch their shoulders up to their ears.
Their steps are hurried, yet tentative.
Nobody seems to be happy about ANYTHING.
They seem like if they could leave, they would.
At least the ones whose souls and brains haven’t been crushed would.
Well…poverty, commitments. What are ya gonna do?
