Notes About The Poem

My first book of poems, DREAMS REWRITTEN, is available on line from Barnes & Noble.  Check it out.

Faking a Heart Attack

Faking a heart attack
last July
was an event.
Even the feds were
marshaled for action.
Cow bells.
Whose got cowbells?

Words can’t harm you.
I’m restless.
Turn on the channel;
click on Oxford.
Turn up the volume;
Let’s play baseball.

About.
About what?
There’s a thriller.
Toot your horn.
Bring the station wagon
	around front.
Business as usual.
