In the blank PAD 4-3

 In the Middle of Nowhere

 

My niece, her husband

and two-year-old

moved from the edge of nowhere,

where my sister lives

in Adams, Nebraska,

to the middle of nowhere,

miles from the nearest little town.

 

Does it even have a name?

 

We went out there months ago,

before they fixed up the place.

As we approached, I felt lonely,

even with a car full of people.

 

We passed cornfields and junkers.

People seemed to stop caring since few saw it.

At least my niece and her husband are happy.

 

But as they say, “It’s a nice place to visit.”

(which I will do this week)

“But I wouldn’t want to live there.”
