Texas Night

The stop lights and the stars are the brightest
things right now.
The shop lights turned off hours ago, replaced
with the occasional "Sorry were closed" sign.
What would it be like to live in a town like this?

Homey maybe... though it seems like a town that
you go through to get to where you're going.
So where are the people who live here going?

Mist hangs a few inches off the ground
and late night dew clings to my hand
as I let it float through the breeze.

I stop at a light, amused by the lack of cars it
changed for.

This town I wouldn't want to live in
but maybe that's because I think
I know where I'm going.
