A steady stream of live video feed:
Helicopters, police cars, SWAT teams,
An ambulance that drives away, lights flashing, siren
Quiet like the boys & girls locked in the classrooms, wondering
Who was it? Who was it?
& in the sky, a bird flies too close to the sun
Watching the city stand still.
The children will always wonder.
The witness will always fly.
