A sanguine enthusiasm ensued

Note: following is a prose poem I wrote last night. I assembled it from random phrases gleaned from news stories and advertisements mostly in the New York Times. Perhaps it is better termed a prose collage.

“June 22, 2004: A Sanguine Enthusiasm Ensued”
In downtown Baghdad, a car bomb announced plans to merge Thursday with the key S&P 500 index. Holders of the Black Banner enjoy savings on summer essentials while quantities last. In Ramadi in Baghdad in Karbala in Fallujah more hostages taken. Who? Whom? This initial skirmish led to ensuing engagements fierce fighting clashes killed 25 insurgents and captured 25 others wounded 14 U.S. servicemen. In industry argot this fueld a pervasive bearish sentiment in the market. Meanwhile, “One of my former commanders, a good friend, a mentor, instilled in me very early on that there’s probably a minority of your soldiers - he used the number 10 percent- that can be criminals …” Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez. Elsewhere, Dr. Stephen W. Hawking threw in the towel. Said there will be a return to glamour. Meanwhile, some have their doubts and worry is marijuana bad for my unborn child? From the Keys to Waikiki, find your dream home. The statement said soldiers found a roadside bomb and a car bomb. Meanwhile, Professor Marmot presided over alcohol consumption in general. Elsewhere, Alan Greenspan, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, found the severed head in downtown Baghdad’s Haifa street. Meanwhile, McDonald’s profit up 25 percent. And finally a sanguine enthusiasm ensued. Nationwide, 46 % compared with 44% approve or disapprove do or do not are likely or unlikely if named Bush/Cheney if named Kerry/Edwards who do you trust? Do you feel safer? Now or four years ago? A lifetime in mannequin years. Ronnie’s awful fertile for a dead guy.
