1.
everyday
the
world
is
another newspaper
older ?
newer ?
or
more tired ?
2.
dear news
so theres
no headlines
of artistic triumph
of heroic compassion
of breakthrus in unity
universal education
civil responsibility
again ?
dear news
so theres
no side bars
on mindfulness
on the futility of fear
on the triumphs of new tech
beyond apple
again ?
whats that news ?
you think i live in
an
absurdist liberal fantasy
in
a real world of hooting chimps ?
well touche news
but
why
not
print that then ?
for
a
change
3.
maybe
if
we
didnt watch the news
but
counted the days instead
by
our
growing finger nails
and
the sliding sun
would
the
dangerous theatre
still
perform
at
all ?
wells theatre, norfolk, virginia
