Show Me the Place, 44

“Show me the place.”

Duke Senior in As You Like It (2.1)

44: Crater Lake; Oregon; 1970s

My father spoke about this lake—

A wonder, boys! So for his sake

We drove out West to see the site—

Discovering that Dad was right—

As he so often surely was—

And we were thrilled not just because

The spot was wondrous—lovely—rare.

But picturing my father there.
