TODAY’S NEWS,Louise Annarino,11-22-2013
The competition ‘s fierce
below the belt
way, called
only when the last
vestige of truth falls
sway, to better ratings
or promotions too
irresistable to ignore
another day.
Used to be I thought
the news a place
to hear, or read
the truth, a space
free of biased interface;
not simply lining the pockets
of those who piece
together from whole cloth
with stitches too loose,
too unsure,too fragile
to rely upon,
splitting open seams
in a false replay
of what happened today.
