Attention

Our attention turns the

pages of the news

and the sponsors pay

handsomely for us

to be as we are,

persuaded, or so

they must believe;

evaluate, we do those

words and all their

implications and

just like our predecessors,

and those before them,

we smile casually,

drink our coffees,

eat our toast and eggs,

and proceed just as all

our attention indicates.
