A death rattle
like shifting gears
is all I heard before the scream
Leap out of the car
Dodge the traffic
Hurdle the hedge
Slam into the phone booth
only to find I’m not wearing
my Superman costume
0-0-0 o-o-o Oh! Ohh… Oooohhhh.__________.
Then the sirens
ignorant traffic
like you hear
when other people’s Dads
have heart-attacks
like you see
when ambulances
start to cruise
like hearses
because he’s dead
& the emergency’s over
