the small towns gone?
To the Mountain Gazette Editor,
The way of print
and newspapers with names and faces you recognize
without them being politicians or famous people.
Have we outgrown small, quaint, and personal?
Small town community reporting takes a fine sieve net.
Perhaps we are only interested in big fish.
In a world where everyone has a megaphone
I liked having a place to write and read at what seemed to me
to be a neighbor-to-neighbor talk.
As a pebble rolls down Mount Mansfield,
Only the smallest of creatures take notice.
The Mountain will look the same tomorrow.
Only the Gazette to its right, will have rolled on down
Leaving a small hole in the Earth
and a bit larger one in the communities it served.
Best wishes to Brenda and Sara,
Thank you for being one of the pebbles that keep us connected.
