i check my mail daily for a promo:
BILLY COLLINS reads Pomes by charlie morgan.

i wouldn't miss that for the world!

i'll hear some of my favorites being explicated
by the master himself, lilting the right nuance.

touching each letter with his tip o' tongue bite;
drawing grandmothers to the kitchen window;

a wet letter dried with Mama's apron and Billy's
thining hair. he would ask me on stage, share the spotlight;

reluctantly, i'd go. i wanna be so popular that
no one will know me, a life in cognito, aglare.
