One Stoplight Town

Memories lingering
much like molecules
trapped
in stagnant water
nothing growing
flowing
compressed
like the
Darkness of
a vacuum
an insidious
and ominous
black hole
unwilling to
let light leave
at best
a clever enigma
too dark to grasp
no unsolved mysteries
a multiverse of
the downward pull
of gravity
the dead end
of a one
stoplight town

Yeah too bad people in small towns turn to debauchery and filth when they're bored.

I think it may just be a frame of mind and a way of life for some. Maybe more of this type get stuck congregating in small groups for generations. Sure all small towns aren’t this way and that these personality types linger in every major city as well

This is quite interesting, it seems having one stoplight in town isn't great. It's a black hole, and no light ever seems to come through. I wonder how the traffic is in this town, because there's one stoplight, does anyone ever drive because of this everlasting darkness?

Thank you for the read. It’s both a play on my last poem and a look at a certain type of mentality. I like weaving works together and presenting various meanings within each. I look forward to seeing some of your work and hope you’ve enjoyed the day

Oh I can see how it can be a mentality, a dark mind not letting in any light, a one stoplight down, no light but can be very dangerous too. Interesting! It was my pleasure to read :)
