the fake
policeman calls
asking
for a donation.
it's a deep manly voice,
serious
and strong.
it's scary how he knows
my name.
i ask if isn't he paid
by our taxes,
the county
or state, or district
that he works in.
the robotic voice
doesn't understand
my question
and presses onward.
there are three levels
of contributions,
the voice says.
the bronze, the silver
or gold plan.
you want to be safe,
don't you?
he says.
your kids, your wife, your
grandparents
need to be protected
by our men and women
in blue.
crime is up and never
going down, so
which plan are you more
comfortable with
in giving.
can we count on you
this year
with one of our monthly
donation plans?
