“Even if the place has a McDonald's,
the help may only work there,
live outside of town,
be so young they don't care about

or whether the town is on a map….’’

— From “Lost Is the Farthest Place,’’ by Richard Gillman (1929-2004), American poet and university administrator. He lived the later part of his life in Waterville, Maine, home of Colby College (and its large art museum).
