Nothing To See Here

“Keep moving, keep moving,” said the patrol officer.

Someone asked, “What happened?”

The patrol officer repeated, “Keep moving, keep moving, there is nothing to see here.”

He added another part to the sentence he previously stated.

Each passerby attempted to glance down the street, but they saw nothing.

 

It wasn’t until the next day,

Newspaper headlines divulged just what happened,

Down the dark street that evening.

 

David Greg Harth, dead at 31.

 

Articles try to explain how the young emerging artist died.

The reporters did their research.

They found reasons and faults and works of art.

But there was one answer they could not find.
