This is an apocalyptic poem, I thought it kind of appropriate with everything scary going on in the world today. I wanted to capture the helplessness of being in the middle of it, of reading the news, or watching the news, without being able to do anything about it. In a sense, we are all victims in the news. And news is another one of those things we have to deal with every day, like it or not. The style of the poem is free verse, with elements of repetitions, minimalism, worked into it to create the music in the language. I wanted to create, in the disparate imagery, a sense of switching through television channels, getting snippets of images that add up to a sense of a whole. estory
