I wrote to Dr. Robert Coles
Kindly he wrote back
2 years in Reno
1 year in Chiraq

Our politics is hideous
Our border it portends
I am not a saint
I hope for future friends

Europe is more beautiful
Stockholm, Florence, Rome
Bangkok to Siem Riep
Very far from home

One life, one life only
Disappear forever
Gracias senyorita
Sacramento Heather
