[j.d.]
that sign up there says “nissan,”
but where it’s worn away
you can still read “chevrolet.”
bought my ’86 camaro here
i still miss that car today
and over there, where the stop-and-go sits
was the mom and pop with the slow-cooked grits
and the sweet iced tea
with refills free
and cups of joe, and company
there used to be a sign up
saying “glad you came!”
when ev’ry little town around
was as different as its name
now everywhere you go
it all just looks the same:
walmarts, walgreens
wendy’s, applebees
starbucks, stuckey’s

now this town’s just a collection
of some old guy’s memories, just a

ghost upon a ghost
of all these used to be’s
[j.d.]
but if it looks the same
everywhere you roam
tell me, how do you know
when you’ve gotten home?

how do you know
when you’ve gotten home?

one coffee cup
one k-mart brand
chicken nugget served
throughout the land
[norma]
the fresh bread smell from the bakery
that used to fill my car
[j.d.]
the lights of the all-night diner
shining like my truth north star
and all the
[j.d., norma, benny]
thousand other little things
that make us who we are
[kelli & greg]
