Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Night Settles In

      A woman is burned to death on a NY subway train
          Yawn
      Murderer Mangione raises $200k on Go-Fund-Me
          Yawn
      Homeowner is jailed for ousting a squatter
           Yawn
       POTUS commutes 37 of 40 death row executions
           Yawn
                          Night settles in ~
                          No sightings of dawn
