Three Sisters


To be in Bend in Oregon

You're in the Poem Three Sisters

High peaks of the Cascades

They're to the west of here


The sun sets behind them

And tonight Prescribed fires

Set on purpose and not wild

Lent a beautiful red glow


Faith Hope and Charity

They once were called

And once too there was more

Of those thoughts about


They are beyond all names

But we are not

To express somehow

What we think and feel


Words mere words

Yet matter

From the heart

The DMV


Before me sits the Driver Manual

The signs and laws and other stuff

Which I must learn to pass the test

And earn an Oregon License


But first I'll need residence here

Not so easy it appears

I need but three months

Not to lease a year



I want to be in New York this fall

To see the leaves in color

The sugar maple in particular

And some friends

Both old and new and all


I'll look

For residence

again tomorrow

Tonight I study

If I'm to drive

I need know how

The $33000 Room


A mistake it was

But what a fright

My card declined

No money in sight



To the bank I ran

Seeking answers

In full righteous

Indignation



The charge had been

A hundred times the cost

The bank knew that too much


A mistake it was I'm sure

Yet later on the app appeared

The bank's mobile app

When I turned on the phone

And I have never used that app


Full of convenience

This cyberspace

Yet doubts to face

Who knows who

Seeks all you have

This time and place


Continue on regardless
