Notes About The Poem

A morgue at a newspaper is where the archives, microfilm, research is stored.

Scaring Wanna Be Journalists Off

And through that door is the morgue
The editor said, motioning toward 
an unassuming, flat-black, painted door
“Do you want to see it?”
The wanna-be journalists from high school 
Began shaking their heads ‘no’.
