NaPoWriMo Day 28 : In the News

*
From NaPoWriMo for today:
Today I challenge you to find a news article, and to write a poem using (mostly, if not only) words from the article! You can repeat them, splice them, and rearrange them however you like. Although the vocabulary may be “just the facts,” your poem doesn’t have to be — it doesn’t even have to be about the subject of the news article itself. Happy writing!

according to initial studies
working with the government

remains
were found
excavations
