[Newspoetry] Beltway pome

[Joe Futrelle]

warm bread
lines
a fire sale
Brokaw outlives Tito Puente
snorts at Putin
about corruption
forgive Brokaw, Lord
Putin's vision of democracy:
protect property owners
Mr. Putin,
how did they get that property?
Brokaw's right
but he has no groove
morally speaking
you understand
here in the beltway
NBC nightly news
is a local show
the Pentagon
is much smaller
than I imagined
we are all within six degrees
or less
of Ken Bacon
are there newspoets here?
newspoets:
here the FBI
is a tourist destination
that is poetry enough
