Nemo


from the ABC set Smallvilles : Real US Towns, Imagined Voices

Nemo city Tennessee Alt. 885 Pop. 1818

He lives here; that’s what they said,
‘Off the turnpike -a jitney ride.’
Clapboard house in a shack location -
shady place for a lost vacation.
Mail box broken,
door hangs open:
whitewash words say
No-one lives here.
