THE STATE HOSPITAL THREE
–
Springing from memory,
State Hospital Three–
Two doctor’s kids and me,
Making our way through academy…
We were the Hospital Three.
–
Brent and Taisa competed for
Valadictory.
I was twenty-seventh of
Two-sixty-two…
A good showing for me!
–
Taisa next door and Brent on the Hill
We grew simaltaneously…
With other kids in the neighborhood,
In general–happy.
–
We all walked to school or took the bus,
Sometimes got special transport…
In later years we each did our thing,
Paralleling the Street named “Court”.
–
Fortunately “The Hospital Three”
Are all three still around,
Each in a different part of this country…
But finding new common ground.
