Middletowns

these towns always found in the middle

too many to name or claim as mine 

are they really in the middle I mean

kind of 

sort of 

more-or-less 

closer than not 

not exactly 

don't know 

 don't care

maybe 

I am thankful for always being in 

the middle of somewhere 

where doesn't particularly matter to me

middle-of-the-road 

middle america 

middle class 

middle seat

maybe not middle seat

rarely do I ask if this was a decision to name

based solely on equal distance from one something or place 

to another something or place or was it just simpler to say

we are in the middle of here and there and 

we are a town 

so why not
