Mark Danowsky
Inside the News
Lawyers say it's a matter of free speech
on public property. Hearing this
I turn the radio up. I wait for names.
It's not like the infamous 15-minutes.
Remember hearing a joke you already knew?
Or that story your best friend tells
every stranger you meet? It's like that.
Dawn. One moment, you're outside—
the next? In the peripherals.
