NaPoWriMo, Day Fifteen, Poem Fifteen


Strung Out
 
I first witnessed one
of journalism's 
many deaths

on the floor 
of my college's
student newspaper

when I peeked in
to a closed door
meeting, left ajar,

saw three people
go on to become
unnamed sources

and plot my story,
lackluster ending
left to police logs.

I left, narrative
dangling, never
in my control again.

Only steps ahead, 
I declare daily,
No end...not today...
