I’m Not Used To That

And I don’t know what it is
about people in this town
but they are nice here

okay, maybe it is that
they lived a long life
and they don’t feel
like being angry anymore

but they’re nice

they’re caring

if you’re walking down the street
people say hi to you
even if they don’t know your name

i’m not used to that

i wonder if i will get to that point
ask me in fifty years
and i’ll let you know
