Thursday’s Poem – The Newspaper

The Newspaper

The newspaper came at 2:30 am,
tonight.

Yesterday,
it didn’t come at all.

I’d complain
if I only knew who to.
or if I cared enough in the end.

There is always more paper than I can read.
I end up putting the rest in the recycling bin
without having the decency to at least give it all a cursory glance over beforehand.

What can I say,
I’m a front page and Op-Ed section kind of guy.

    there’s the fourth estate
    and the Oregonian
    birds won’t shit on it

    It’s wrong.
    WRONG!
    To have a newspaper poem
    that doesn’t mention
    the Funnies.
