A news story I read today
About the Colorado shootings
Ended on a solemn note
Reflecting the full depth
Of this American tragedy
As Warner Brothers
Decided to withhold
Box office numbers
For the Dark Knight
Through this long weekend of grief
Issuing a formal statement that
They will wait until
Monday
Out of respect for the
victims
And their families
But with respect to
Their shareholders
Please take note
That receipts may not have
Diminished so much after all
And there's only negligible
Risk of long-term harm
To the Batman franchise
As the Dark Knight will be
Ready rise yet again
Perhaps as soon as
This coming fall
This coming fall
