The Town

Part 2 in my four part poetry project for Friday Night Lights.

There is a town in Texas 


A town with not much going for it 


In which the residents know each other and everything that happens 


Completely in a world of their own 


But every Friday night this town comes together to celebrate something magical 


High school football 


It seemed as if football became the only lifeline holding the town together 


Like the gas in a car or the pedals on a bike 


Or maybe like batteries in a flashlight 


It was something to keep this town in Texas going


So that they had something to take pride in
