2000 PEOPLE WAS ALL


In my small hometown 

you couldn’t buy a hit record 

or a hardback book

or a Wilson baseball glove

there was no McDonald’s but 

you could buy a huge can of Charles Chips

at the gas station

what we did have was a library 

in a white house like you’d imagine

a small town might have.

  1. My town had only 500 people. Pretty much the same. Picked up that can of Charles Chips at the gas station after church every Sunday. I’d be fatter, but had to split it with 4 siblings. I bought a baseball glove at the hardware store, though.
