#a series of nowheres by marty shambles [[begin|nowhere1]]###Nowhere 1 (link-reveal:"Somewhere in West Texas is a nowhere")[ that hides off the interstate.] (link-reveal:"It's a gas station that looks closed down")[ but the pumps still work..] (link-reveal:"There are kittens, covered in fleas.")[ We feed them lunch meat from the cooler. I want to take one home.] There's a phone booth that hasn't been used since 9/11. [[next|nowhere2]] ###Nowhere 2 (link-reveal:"this nowhere")[ is jealous of somewhere. there's a big sign that reads: somewhere which would be false advertising if anyone around to give a damn wants to admit that they are indeed nowhere.] [[next|nowhere3]]###Nowhere 3 This (link-reveal:"nowhere")[ is where the old high school was; where Rick and Nancy met, before the factory got shipped off to China in the 90s. What ever happened to Rick and Nancy? They never come around these parts no more.] [[next|nowhere4]]### Nowhere 4 (link-reveal:"Caught in the silence of it.")[ This unbending quiet will break me. I would take the chattering of insects or the howling of wolves with a taste for my blood over this silence.] [[next|nowhere5]]###Nowhere 5 (link-reveal: "I'm as desolate")[ as a railroad crossing in the wee hours, blinking and clanging for no one.]
