A Sunday Poem: “Spotlight”

 

Physician-assisted dying

gets ink.

 

Two full pages in the weekend paper.

 

Still short

of the 6-page Travel section,

the 10-page Home and Condo section,

or the 84-page magazine of Family

Living.

 

(Editor’s note: poet Shai Ben-Shalom, an Israeli-born biologist, examines current events in the Blacklock’s tradition each and every Sunday)
