HEADLINES
Big words jumping out at you from creased paper, casually thrown on the counter, demanding attention
Meaningless opinions coated in fallacies
Awful, terrible things that sound so far away that they must be imagined
The reason your mom and dad argue and cry and pray for the future of our world
Scandals and gossip and murder and URGENT NEWS and opinions and stories, stories, stories
History being created, written big and bold above rows of small print
Fairytales being proven true, blowing up, celebrities divorcing again, economy and inflation and global warming and the legislative and who’s going to be the singular person who breaks it all?
Somebody trying so hard to get through to us, to change the world
—can they do it?—
On television now, everywhere, always, and those headlines, they won’t ever go away.
