Did you hear
the top man prescribe

(He corrected himself
and said, “Sorry, epidemic”)
It was noted.

emails, Bill!”

BREAKING NEWS:
“Biden drops free fees for study”
“Home care funds for the aged & disabled cut”

The shadow of violence drifts
over those mountainous hills
or
maybe I’m dreaming it up.
The professor questioned: Were you there?
How can you be sure of the facts?
Who logs yesterday’s history, professor?
Is it you? Is it I?
(There’s so much more to tell…)
