Yesterday we drove to Medusa
perfect name for a small town here (Cairo
relative). We used to go to Medusa maple festivals
looked at a Victorian house
for sale on main street Medusa
now friends want to live upstate
store across the street comes with the house.
Three hundred ten for both.
Black Lives Matter sign in the window.
Unusual for small towns here.
Owner came to the door. I have seven
children, he said. Don’t ask why. The house
is too small. I ran the store and it was
Just Too Much so we’re moving.
I asked where.
Who knows, he said.
