Zoology [Today's News Poem, Feb 13, 2010]
“It didn't happen. There's no way .... they are still alive.”

“The shootings on the university campus opened a window into the pressure-cooker world of biotechnology start-ups, where scientists often depend on their association with academia for a leg up.”
--Shaila Dewan and Liz Robbins, NYT

A pressure cooker, right? A princess takes
The world by right—her flesh is good: it's white.
She's not an animal. The 'black man' fakes
His decent traits, but her, she fakes her fight—
“It didn't happen,” right? “They're still alive”
She said—that's right. Just ask the news—like you
It wants to know how snow can act like jive-
Ass darkies. Whites with burdens tend imbue
Their sacrifice for darker folks with tragedy.
The blacks just suffer less: their pains are comedy.

Chickening out on a word choice for Today's News Poem
And I want to know if not using a certain word diminishes Today's News Poem, so please leave responses or e-mails. After "What Men Want" was posted to some anti-abortion website, I don't want this poem to be seriously misread. But it's a pretty angry poem, as you'll see.
Brace yourselves, Today's News Poem's extra-angry and direct.
