New Poem: SCOTT PELLEY REQUIEM

 yes it was going to happen

 Black Thursday was the original cannonball 

 heads metaphorically removed

 change ordered for the appearance of change

 for the apparent pleasure of Skydancer Son of Oracle 

 (and I’m old enough to remember other newsmagazines 

 morphed  to more profitable true crime shows

 but CBS already has 48 Hours)

 so when Bari stayed away on purpose

 that Nick and Bari’s flunky could display

 copious amounts of hyper-thin skin

 the words YOU ARE TERMINATED FOR CAUSE

 were chiseled on the Black Rock walls

 later, we may see a few not worrying about job security 

 willing to sacrifice themselves, saying I Am Scott Pelley Too

New Poem:60 MINUTES RAMBLE

 where does it go now

 more begging for government permission 

 return to Mike Wallace investigations

 maybe if certain businesses aren’t touched 

 point counterpoint with Bari Weiss and Scott Pelley

 Jesse Watters as the new Andy Rooney

 go along get along comments by Anderson Cooper

 >

 as this is being written, I’m not reading about 

 any profiles in courage people quitting on principle 

 unless that happens after Bari’s referendum on feminism
