  < third from the top >

 this  
 picture in today's news  
 another informational announcement  
 from our government:  
                
 "new humane methods of execution"  
                
 this  
 picture of padded chairs  
 headrests curving up  
 heads  
 already strapped in  
 colored tubes  
 sewn to their mouths  
 which  
 (the article goes on to say)  
 makes it all quite painless  
  
 all this    
 from reading today's news  
 from recognizing you  
 third from the top
