Missing

 

“The UN reported today

that 50,000 in Rwanda

and another 40,000 in Zaire

are missing.”

 

You click off the radio, wonder

how they could ‘miss-place’

all those people who aren’t hiding

behind a tree ready to jump

out and say ‘boo,’ and aren’t

six-year-olds who have

‘run away’ to the basement because

their mother wouldn’t let them

watch TV.

 

How do you lose

90,000 people?
