Peaceful, Then Not So Peaceful

by Michael Erickson

 

I've been to the Peace Gardens

between North Dakota and Canada.

There was lots of flowers and trees.

There were some waterfalls, a borderline

between the U. S. A, and Canada.

We saw parts of the Twin Towers.

We saw old magazines about the Twin Towers.

We saw pelicans up close.

 

When we left the security almost took

me and my sister

because my parents didn't bring our birth certificates.

On the way home we saw an old couch in the ditch

and saw windmills that went for acres and acres.

Then we saw an old abandoned rocket minefield.

We were happy when we got home.  

We're never going back.
