~LEAD STORY~

It was late
and raining
I lit a smoke
hearing presses humming

It was night
and cold winds hit me
as the river flowed black
darkness dimmed city lights

A banner story denied
technical failure: STOP
erroneous currents
blame set in misprint

Walked the darkness
without a star
wondering

WHY?

Story cut ...
None ... No where

Reporter vanished!

Ousted
Harassment
Intensified
Ordeal

Lead story shredded
reporter lost favor

No questions
only expiration

Gone now!

Inspiration has died
as she buried it tonight

~LEAD STORY~

News: tomorrow's paper!
