The Network

I turned The TV On. The first five minutes The CNN news: Two prostitutes Were Found Decapitated And dumped In two separated Bags After being Beating. This I call Peace time Casualty. Followed By five minutes Of commercial: Drug for obese The next five minutes The war on freedom In Iraq Local news Car bombing Injured one USA Soldier And killed 19 Civilians Most of them were Children. Then Another five minutes Of commercial This time Bow flex With 30 years of Warranty Then the Local weather update With no warning! Popped up With A noisy Warning Message TURNADO WATCH Affective till 9:47 PM In the following Counties: LOUISVILLE, PARIS, CHAMPAIGN, And 6 other Counties I do not remember their names I hear the heavy rain and branches Falling I have been In this town For seven years No tornado Touched Really Down. I switched to CNN Still, It is about Denis It became Type four Hurricane As it got Close to Alabama The head Of Alabama Asked His people To leave And drive north. Poor Alabama, Poor people In Alabama. I turned the TV off. I took My bicycle And I headed to The closest bar
