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
