the morning paper/ mary oliver

 Read one newspaper daily (the morning edition
     is the best
for by evening you know that you at least
     have lived through another day)
and let the disasters, the unbelievable
     yet approved decisions,
soak in.

I don't need to name the countries,
     ours among them.

What keeps us from falling down, our faces
     to the ground; ashamed, ashamed?

: mary oliver, ‘the morning paper’; a thousand mornings
