Beggars



Parts of a story,
I recalled vaguely,
Some message fragments,
Came through the static...

Wooden Nickels


Wooden Nickels

From the A and W Root beer stand
Where I worked
Once upon a time.
For awhile they gave these coins
To patrons.

The Light


The little girl came out of nowhere,
Or so it appeared,
Bearing a new friend for the old man.

Neurological testing


The Neuro Examination.
I have had a few
And watched hundreds
During my time as a nurse.
I remember the first time I met Dr. Panitch.
He pulled a matchstick up and had me follow it
With my eyes. 
An intern looked on.
I was still sizing up Dr. Panitch.
It would take a few visits to
Grow to care about him
And his genius.
God, I miss him.




I went on the Combi Rx study
During my clinic visits
They measured
Timed 10 Peg
Test




Timed walk


And my most frustrating test
The Math Test



Made me think of a circus,
Walking the wire
Without a net.

Listening to the Opry

It started as a memory.

After I went to a conference in Nashville, Tennessee.

Friends and I got to see the Opry,
A Great evening of Music, really great music.

I took a tour bus and saw the original Mother Church.
5 bucks got me a photo

Knowing it's a radio show,
I thought about country people, tuning in...

NCIS 
on CBS
Last night,
Another exciting plot,
And a positive spin
By the character, friend, Abby.
Pauley in real life.
She is spinning tweets
Like a caterpillar spins a cocoon.
