where can i buy your book?

my old writing professor

calls me to ask where she can purchase

my poetry books.

i tell her amazon.

she says what's that?

i don't travel much anymore,

and going to africa is

out of the question.

she's 92, so i forgive her.

give me your address,

i tell her.

i have company right now,

she says.

can i call you back.

just say your address, i tell

her.

hold on, she says.

and grabs an electric bill

off her desk.

here it is.

and who is this i'm speaking to?
