I can't decide whether to include the origional headline in this poem.
Facts Doubt Misnomers
If you happen to breathe
a mist of vaporized steel
and Uranium 238,
you could develop lung cancer
or lymphoma, but
scientist after
(American) scientist agrees
"Uranium 238 cannot cause cancer."
Maybe those
(Italian) deaths
from leukemia
are just
a physical manifestation
of doubt.
Agreement between American scientists
does not constitute
a fray
in Europe.
A fray in Europe
would feature both
disagreement
and
Europeans.
