easy place to hide

i am standing
behind a skinny tree
out here in the open
my body pokes out
tree too small
to hide me

i read the news
from around the globe
while sitting at a screen
adjusting my posture
blinking and squinting
at the same story

killed
---school
-------boy
----guns
dead

i hide in headlines
sticking out from behind
wonder if i can be seen
but not caring
sometimes i want to be found
and pick
an easy place to hide
