Newspapers

ADRIENNE C. FISHER

This current photo album of strangers
Showing people smiling from its pages
Deceives us 'til we read the words of dangers
It being a chronicle of living sages.

Developed early on and now competing
with inventions playing to our wanderlust,
Like talking films, made silent movies fleeting,
they try to undermine the public's trust.

Still the easiest, cheapest way to obtain
Editorials of national raving
These chronicles of daily news remain
A vestige of living past worth saving.
