Haiti Found Poem (from a BBC article on survivors) by Ariel Bryant

24-year-old, working in
The grocery store in the Napoli
Inn Hotel when the building collapsed.

24-year-old, trapped for 11 days.
Found in good health.
It took a joint operation by French,
Greek and American rescue teams.

The 24-year-old’s cries for help
Were heard by his family.

The 24-year-old survived by diving
Under a desk when the building
Collapsed around him.

This brave 24-year-old lived on
Diet Coca-Cola and biscuits.
