News Out of the Fog
"In Cleveland three women were kidnapped by
three brothers, and
Kept as captives for ten years.
Also found in the house was a young girl,
Presumed to be the daughter of one of the women.
The women had been the subject of an intensive
search."
The thick fog settles in:
How could this be?
How could the three women not put out a sign:
A flag in a window, a cry in the night, a phone
call?
Ten years is a long time.
In the coming hours the fog will thin.
The news people with see that this will grip the
public
No longer than two days.
North Korea, Syria, Palestine-Israel, Iran,
Iraq, Afghanistan--
Will soon return, pushing the Cleveland
kidnapping off the screen.
