a call from the Medical Alert
company.
they want me to buy
a necklace,
or a watch,
a device that will alert
my friends or
neighbors
if i fall in the shower
or down
the stairs
after too many apple
martinis
or shots of tequila.
we need a name of someone
who we can
put on your contact list
in case you fall.
but i can't think of
anyone at the moment.
at least no one
that would come and help me.
most of them
would be pleased and happy
to see me lying
on the floor
with arms and legs akimbo,
blood dripping
from my skull.
