Newspeak(s)

It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there. --- William Carlos Williams

Congressman Weiner

Weiner Admits He Sent Lewd Photos

Cell phone images click
In quiet office

Photographs in frames behind my back
The only witnesses

In the sacred silence
Power overwhelms me

As I flex
For the camera
