Terrified of Des Moines

I was terrified of a Des Moines move To me this was a big city I was from a town of three thousand I did not think people would neighbor there I had been to New York City once During the garbage strike Rats were all over the streets with their hideously ugly pink tails And their ugly butt holes I thought I was going to be moving to a smelly unfriendly place Being a small-town girl, I had no idea That a bigger town is just a lot of neighborhoods Where people neighbor with each other, just like in small towns. It was a tremendous relief. And there was no garbage strike.
