Ode to Small Towns by Esther Yeh-Rynn Chae

This is where red and orange vibrant lights cover the trees and a dark long cloud covers the sun.
This is where a cylinder-like shaped wind destroyed the crowded and noisy city.
This is where people lie on the streets begging for food and money.
This is where big groups of people hold up posters and shout at the top of their lungs.
This is where turtles die with fishnets tangled around them.
This is where winter has never gone by in towns.
This is where more than a mile cannot be seen from where people are.
This is where hope still remains in people and hope for the best.
