From Florida to Virginia

The other life my sister shared with me

was the family I found

in Virginia,

which I treasure to this day

and always will,

while living in an RV

that was at that point

anchored in one spot.

There I made friends

with a homeless man

who lived in a tent

and once swung a sword

at the feet of someone,

which sadly remains

the only anecdote

of any kind

with a sword

I can share.
