[Newspoetry] poem from yr aunt barbara

News Breaks

The News Breaks
my head is sleepy
the morning djs on WIXY don't know how to cover this sort of thing,
switching between ABC, CNN, and someone on the phone, cutting everyone off
in mid-sentence.

The news keeps breaking.

The only other person in the room is a complete stranger.
I drink coffee.  Its all very surreal.
I forget which number i'm looking at.
We switch to NPR.

The news keeps breaking.

I drink more coffee.
She says she was just there, that the skyline will never look the same.

I drink more coffee.
The news keeps breaking.

I say its best not to jump to conclusions about who did it.

I drink more coffee.
The news keeps breaking.
