These three poems are comprised of words or groups of words I found in NY Times articles. The words are still in the same order as they were in the article, they have simply been pulled out of that context and molded into my artsy little Frankensteinian poems. The titles are the exact titles of the articles the words were taken from. Enjoy.

Viewing Journalism as a Work of Art
Shepard of "Hope":
no one has disputed the sale
by a fine Mr.
That day was in Darfur;
the news the he searched to find,
