The Newsgirl

Ralph Monday

Is that paragon, American virtuosity,
speaker of news tongues
        morning,
                afternoon,
                        evening
uniting, or pissing off any number
Of budweiser swilling views.

                sometimes

The redheaded freckled girl
                        next door
others too much makeup bleached
                                blonde diva
or
earthy homey brunette everybody’s
                little sister
American voices metaphysical microwaves
beaming wars murders thefts collapsing
Third world weeks of history compacted
into 30 toilet paper filled moments
        smiling
            they go on bringing
the good news.
