Still more news…

Précis
Journalists are trained,
taught from the beginning,
to précis,
never to use 100 words
where 10 will do,
and yet
here they are, every morning,
filling page after page
with coronavirus news,
analysis, the latest pet theories,
words to reassure
or just to pile on worries,
anxieties, anguish, doubts
with no possibility,
or so it seems,
that the stream of verbiage
will ever run out.
In a world gone crazy
I long for précis.
