Sunshine and quiet on the streets. Dogwalking, weekenders sleepily getting ready to depart.Lingering over buttermilk milk biscuits and steaming freshly made sausage gravy.  Light of day meets neon of night.
Code-sharing fraternal brotherhoods.
Friendly but wary and firm.

Past lives rustily share today’s small town.The road out.Further along, keeping to small roads, a levee town’s muraled ceiling helps keep the slow road pace of the day, and more history of the west.

Even modern history still telling a tale.
Discarded and shuttered.
