headline poetry

This blog began as an excursion to reintroduce myself to both “the news,“ which I abandoned nearly 2 years ago, and with creative writing, unvisited for over 10 years. The experiment returned me to writing, and convinced me to remain inattendant to the distractions of “the news”. Now my poems don’t refer to the reported doings of the world, but rather, to my own life’s headlines, the news worthy stuff in my direct, personal and unmediated world. See 9/11/06 for more.

From Here to Went

Unfamiliar t-shirts arrived
expected
zero to France in 7 months

Delayed soldiers reinforce
the lesser of our favorite foes
diagnosed
they’d kill for some lousy mints
and plan to see a show

Slain, or in the middle,
civilian draftees went
from all the U.S. places

Sometimes lingering out of bed
worked up
questioning the punishment
Lamont went
from here, hours ago
