Dear Fox News
it's unlikely that by now
five days shy
of your eighteenth anniversary
you would still need
a brush-up
on the basic journalism technique
of reporting
on events
that actually exist
in reality
but just in case
if you see two million Muslims
streaming into
a sprawling tent city
near Mecca
in Saudia Arabia
in preparation
for their holy five-day hajj
this is not ISIS.
You didn't need
to hear that
but thank you for your time.
