A SHORT CONVERSATION

by Robin E. Sampson


Did you see the news today?

Which news?

There are so many
and so few
versions now

and all the news is old,
older than time.


Robin E. Sampson, born on the east coast, raised on the west coast, now back on the east coast, is a writer of poetry, fiction, and even some non-fiction, at least when she’s not avoiding the pen. She’s a member of the CT-based six-woman poetry performance troupe Shijin. Her publishing credits include their chapbook We Shijin, Book 1, Wicked Alice, The Bitter Oleander, and several anthologies.
