Notes About The Poem

Dialing 911

DIALING 911

towering building,   dressed   in pinstriped suit,
healthy, quietly      dying.     flying without web,
without        wings.         an abnormal workday,
smokes in the        clouds.       explosive wings
have           penetrated       upper office space.
God gazes out          heaven’s             window,
holds out his           hand,          ready to catch 
each soul that lands on      ashen    pavement
