Newspoem.

21 April 1999

Something very bad

They were talking about it in the breakroom

An event had surrounded the building

The News had forced its acknowledgement

While the bombing entered its second month undiscussed

They talked about the violence in Colorado

Parents teachers kids, it was their business

To confront this new and unimaginable despair

Refugees from another newsstory
