Todays News Tomorrows Blues
Listen to poem:
Today’s News Tomorrows Blues
David J Walker
Off white
Black typed
Picket fence newspapers
Stacked in racks unread
Everything said
Yesterday
Made news today
Everyone who bled
Or bruised made news
In the official records where
Only the dead are
Laid to rest in the haze of the
Obituaries details
Scattered like ashes among
The ads of mortuaries
On the next page the movies
Remind us of the lives we will
Never know
But let’s go to the show
And forget about life
Until tomorrow’s edition
Is put to bed
