missing was one all-american girl
since last february when the search began
we keep looking for her
the all-american girl who haunts
our thoughts with her warm smile
who offers such promise for the future
her poise her diction the inflection of familiarity
in her voice as she describes the prizes on a game show
her introductions of new household products
we look for her
is she a guest on a late-night program
when does she find time to sleep to eat
to undress and lay like bones
parched and drying in a field
