30 AUGUST ALL AT SEA
RIDING AN INFLATABLE UNICORN
A THREE-YEAR-OLD GIRL WAS SWEPT OUT TO SEA
OFF THE SOUTH COAST OF GREECE
SHARP-EYED FERRY CAP’N WAS WORRIED
IN CASE SHE WAS SWAMPED OR SWEPT UNDER
CUT HIS ENGINES TO ‘MAKE A LAKE’
THEN PICKED HER UP+BROUGHT HER ASHORE
FOR WHICH HE WAS THANKED PERSONALLY BY A GREEK PRIME MINISTER
WHO REPELS BOARDERS & STRENGTHENS THE MARITIME BORDER WITH TURKEY TO THE EAST
TO THE WEST
BOUBACAR WANN DIALLO TRACES THE BODIES WASHED UP ON THE MEDITERRANEAN SHORES OF MOROCCO
WHERE THE WHOLE SEA LOOKS DECEPTIVELY LIKE A LAKE
BURIES THEM DECENTLY SENDS THE PICTURES HOME TO BEREAVED FAMILIES
KYLE H. RITTENHOUSE LOOKS MOUSEY
SOUNDS LIKE A PIXAR CHARACTER
SHOT THREE
COMING DOWN MAIN STREET WITH ARMS UP EXPECTING ARREST
ONLY WHITE GUYS GET TO WALK ON BY?
WISHING WHERE THERE IS MERCY THAT IT COULD BE APPLIED CONSISTENTLY YOURS TRULY THE NEWS POET
