Being from a small town in
north-western Maine
As my wife was scheduled for surgery
in Portland
Looking out the hotel window
At the parking lot below
Cars in every space
Red, Black, Blue, Green and
Yellow
The makes indistinguishable
from above
NO PEOPLE
Just beyond the parking lot
on Congress Street
Cars and trucks bumper to
bumper
Their progress determined by
lights of red yellow and green
BUT NO PEOPLE
Just beyond is the Interstate
Lanes running north and south
Vehicles moving like ants
A continuous flow in both
directions
NO PEOPLE
Visible beyond the Interstate
The Maine Medical
Center
A multi-level parking garage
Running up the side of the
building
On top acres of parked cars
A world for and of automobiles…
the Ol’Buzzard

COMMENT: Ben Franklin said, "I imagine a man must have a good deal of vanity who believes, and a good deal of boldness who affirms, that all doctrines he holds are true, and all he rejects are false."
