Hurry Up, Please! It's Time! (For the Hollow Man Award, That Is!)
The Hollow Man award for journalism prose most reminiscent of the poetry of T.S. Eliot goes to:
Christine "Hyacinth Girl" Hauser and John "Sweeney" Kifner writing for the New York Times, for their startling similarity to "The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock"
The faces of many houses
in the Jolan district of Falluja
are scorched black.
Gaping holes puncture the walls, leaving glimpses of lifeless interiors through jagged brickwork and shattered windows.
Charred skeletons of cars lie in the streets, which are mostly deserted but for the men who sit sullenly
on plastic chairs next to shuttered shops.
