Taken from the Headlines

I did today's poem a little differently--instead of taking the words from one news story, i strung together words from the headlines. I started on A1  and continued until the end of the section. Te determine the order of the words, I began with the left column and read down, moved to the next column and read down, and so on.  I don't usually show the source material, but here is how I "found poetry" today.
