Sound Bites Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Bitten and spit.
To get a morsel...
Not all of it.
And the folks getting it,
Eat it up!

Not a moment of it wasted,
On providing facts.
Not complete...
For a comprehension to receive it.

Sound bites bitten to scoop the news.
To dropp a little bit to confuse.
Just to extend the taste of what is chewed.
And that's what sound bites bitten done,
Do!

A buffet that's meager,
For a taste to choose.
With a tease that's given.
And a hope what's nibbled makes good news.

Just to extend the taste of what is chewed.
And that's what sound bites bitten done,
Do!

Not a moment of it wasted,
On providing facts.
Not complete...
For a comprehension to receive it.
Bitten and spit.
To get a morsel...
Not all of it.
And the folks getting it,
Eat it up!
And that's what sound bites bitten,
Done...
Do!
