BROODING OVER A CUP OF NEWS
Parting lips of blooming bud
chilled by a thunderous wind.
Will it wilt? Or,
will a sunray rescue it?
Morning cup of news today is bittersweet as yesterday�s:
man will fly to mars soon
government raised the price of dead
in police action of yesterday to a thousand bucks a head
weatherman broke the news that
winds are on their way to cool
the hungry bones burning in African dust.
In thin air are Dream�s wings
Its claws in weedy mud.
And,
in football:
Yeas will clash with Nays in friendly Cup this night.
