The Podunks

by David R Spellman

The eastern part is,
by all accounts
the most well known,
having gained the least
status of urban legend.
The mere mention will
elicit immediate images
of something less than
Bumfuck, Egypt,
that other left out
limbo of a place.
 
But what of central
and western Podunk?
Are they even to exist
on the same plane.
Perhaps they are left
out for a reason... not
welcome to join the
suspect history of their
fabled neighbored peers
afraid they had been
already banished from
that eastern province,
safely relegated to the
isolation of anonymity.
 
 
As a point of clarification, in colloquial use "East Podunk" and "Bumfuck, Egypt" have come to represent distant, remote and unimportant places.
