Sisters

My three sisters
And I text each other
On a shared four-way
Messages during COVID
A unique experience for me
Since I get to see how sisters
Connect online which is often
And about mundane subjects
I would never think to talk to
Them about but when one
Treats her hair the other
Two encourage her so
So do I though why
This event is of
Any interest is
New to me as
I do not color
My hair but
They each
One have
Touched my
Old heart by a
Gift unexpected
Of salted peanuts
A good box of tea bags
And a box of enough short
Bread cookies to supply me
Through the winter so I am
Learning how to talk to
Girls the right way for
The first time in my
Life as one of the
Group trying to
Comprehend
How to nod
By text not
Give the
Best
Solution
And how to
Execute a response
Plan but rather just listen.
How strange to learn a
New language and
The proper way
To respond in
Consensus
With the
Sisters
I grew
Up
With.
Strange,
Like a new
Set of manners
A new way to be polite.
Or, maybe I just forgot how
To participate in a conversation.
