A far away prop plane maybe
Helicopters go over our house all the time
Ferrying hurt folks
Which beats the searching for bad folks type
Some image of a helicopter spotlight splashing down across a neighborhood
Some image of following, trailing, finding
The surrender and the locked on and the locked in
That final cushion of air as a copter lands

Monday is a cry for help
Tuesday is a cry for help
Wednesday is today now is Halloween
A sketchbook is a cry for help
Changes in the streetlights are the sign you've been waiting for
The E in the packy's Open sign will flicker out some day
The wind is a cry for help and it is taking all the babies away

Hurricanes, dingos (sp?), typhus, heroin, stray bullets, wage slavery, apathy, maybe religion, close-mindedness, poverty, cars, the wrong people in the wrong places at the wrong times

Arm, books, cats, duvet cover, entry, fingers twitching, glowing, helicopter overhead, isolation, Jamie, keyboard in scare quotes, little piles of books, my sniffling, nouns, open box of tissues, pairs of shoes or pairs of jeans, ready-or-not readymade, snoring (cat), time or not enough of it, unfinished stories, vacuums that are home appliances, water, you may see me in the morning
+++
Breaking the rules is a cry for help
Strict adherence to rules is a cry for help
Rules are a cry for help
Weather comes down from the North
Weather comes up from the South
But nobody argues
Nobody fights
+++
Men volunteered to fight for a country that had put them in concentration camps
But we live in different times
Keep your head connected to your neck
Follow down you spine
Your rooted in this body

You're rooted (last line) and un-rooted--a big cry for help. This list reminds me of all the times I have not heeded the call. Powerful notice of life, as usual!
