Quaint

and though all the world is falling round their head they do what they can with what they have & they make the most of it huddled inside a small town in the middle of nowhere in a town forgotten by the state & a state that runs a mostly forgotten country in the middle of a planet on its way to extinction--- but the fireplace is warm & the water, still clean, amazes the most of them, as it functions to hydrate & wash them of the everyday toils where labor is what matters & popularity or celebrity hardly becomes a notion, where the children do their best to learn & the parents do their best to stay together, even though they are not the type that would need a reason, for they spent enough time in the beginning, picking each other out & investigating the pros & cons of the situation where, inevitably, they considered their options & found that they had been lucky to stumble upon one another, when they did--- this is said to last, until the children grow up & though one may want to fly from the nest to a greater populated area, somewhere in the known world, the others may very well stay to continue the simple living to continue the struggle to just plain live.
