"Things Just Make Sense Here"

by Rachel Thompson

“Things Just Make Sense Here”
neatly painted on a sign seen from the car
in the outskirts of this prairieforsaken town

the mini
mall is
full of
gawking locals
who appear
never to have seen
two women
traveling by car
maybe lesbians
hard to tell

or they have, and
it ended badly
you can see why
so many horror
flicks start this way

we seek refreshments
but suddenly i need to leave
leave now!

& take my non-
sense far
from here
