Three Biographical Poems
1) Saved: at St. Joseph's Hospital
2) War: and self-defense
3) Last Day in Vietnam
1) Saved: at St. Joseph's Hospital
I was born downtown, on an autumn day
Under the roof of St. Joseph's Hospital; Tended by nuns-they took me away
Until my (unwed) mother-screamed!
To the doctors…
Thus, under the crucifix, I was saved.
# 1506 (10/16/2006; written at El Parquetito's, in Lima, Peru, during lunch)
2) War, and Self-defense
A war we waged:
For a cause, we cried, The glory of it all
Resides in the Halls Of some public domain.
Freedom was the reason,
It's said, for the blood: The sacrifice-the dead;
No matter how indignant!
It's all self-defense.
Dedicated to the American soldiers found in: Vietnam and Iraq; #1509 (10/16/2006)
3) Last Day in Vietnam
Two men, and I stand at attention in Vietnam, then we jump up on the back of the five-ton truck (it will take us to Saigon) we give a last salute. The square I stood on so many times, fade…its now difficult to find; here youth dominates, with young and sparkling eyes.
The dusty clouds of dirt from the tires of the five-ton, covers the war I leave behind, soon my mother will touch my hands (so I think and almost I feel); twenty-four hours have passed, I'm now within reach. And upon arrival home, never once does she speak about the poor victorious logic of the war.

It may not be necessary to turn off cellphones when entering hospitals, say researchers who found no signs that the phones interfered with devices.
