Journalism

I’ve been thinking about
writing lives in newspaper headlines:
High School Boy Claims Love
Girl Frantically Pops Cough Drops Before Trying to Speak

Or maybe tabloid headlines:
Extra! Extra! He Won’t Look At Her!
Her Scandalous Confession: When He Speaks To Me, I Want To Die
A Girl’s Anger: I Want Him To Hurt Like Me

There would be black columns of facts
And colorful pictures taken from unattractive angles and
I was thinking maybe if I
dissected them?

… I’m running out of ideas. The sky is streaked with orange
and i have nowhere to sleep.
