The word that I picked out from Adrienne Rich's poem, "denizens" means inhabitant of a particular place.
We are denizens of Roswell,
not aliens,
but hornets.
We know Taco Mac and Moe's
as football hangouts before,
and after games,
not just restaurants to get Queso.
Publix off 92, illegal parking,
we are not graced with
massive lots like you Eagles.
The Church of Christ at Hardscrabble,
legit.
We are denizens of Roswell,
not Milton.
