For OpEdNews: Mike Palecek - Writer
I will be talking about my novels, my cats, my trip to Oregon in the 1970s in my Dad's '59 Chevy with my dog, the 'possum that lives in our garage, the price of iceberg lettuce, the "Cost of Freedom," and I hope to have a new book out by that time for your purchasing pleasure.
To order your copy of "Cost of Freedom": writingdangerously@msn.com.
This is Michael Annis, Howling Dog Press, Berthoud, Colorado.

Is This Heaven?
by Mike Palecek
It is raining this morning in heaven.
The TV is turned off in heaven.
The daughter is upstairs sleeping yet. The wife is in the kitchen, strummin' on an old banjo, or maybe making more coffee. The son is probably still sleeping, at college.
I am drinking coffee, in heaven, looking out my back door, actually a side window.
There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens.
Ever wonder how high the writer of that song had to be?
Or maybe he had children. They will also do things to your mind, revealing things you would never have thought of your own self.
The world is slowly being revealed to me.
It better hurry the eff up. I was 52 this past week. I don't really mind being this old. I wish I was older. Maybe I would be smarter. Maybe taller. Some day I want to be old enough to understand Strawberry Fields and We All Live in a Yellow Submarine.
