Nightly News Prison Break
Like a maestro conducting
three networks at once
I flip discordant channels
looking for escape
Soundbites break skin
What isn’t said blares loudly
I watch the burning house
with people inside it
They show engulfed bodies
then move to feel-good fluff
while the warden tries to convince me
that firefighters are the enemy
