A Child in Danger

by Bill McCloud

A child is in danger
and a description
is sent out

gray Dodge Challenger
with Arizona plates or

black Audi A4 probably
heading for Mexico or

pink pajamas with rainbows
was carried away on foot or

a four-year-old boy who
needs his medicine or

her hair color when
last seen was purple

A child is in danger
and my phone is
made to dance
and to sing the
modern day sound
of a child in danger
