A voice
on the other end
of a 911 call says
“STAY CALM”
while her body is
cold and staring up.
Holding my hand.
“STAY CALM.”
But I need to know,
how do I wave fingers
and make eyes close
like on TV?
The voice
on the other side
asks an address as
I repeat the question.
The voice offers its all:
“STAY CALM.”
(2003)
