The morning coffee goes poetic and travels through time

In the news: What happens if you take a newspaper, and replace all the journalists with poets? You get reporting like this:
The speech was erudite and precise. The text was pragmatic. But the subtext was depressing: We cannot survive without a treaty, but we have no one to sign one with.
