Poem

Due process

It starts with a story

Shoot for neutrality

(We mean that both ways)

Go for the front page

Get the scoop!

Due diligence

Careful, now

Get the facts straight

Or keep the lies narrow

Sharp

To the point

Dew artistry

Characters scintillate

Forget about the plot

Space it out however you want

But keep the leaves wet

Keep us soaked in the shine of it all

Do nothing

It’s dry now

Between the sheets, on our hands

The colour of crows, with age

Is this a new mystery,

Or just another day in the murder?
