Such Heresy



Y’know you’re living in an egocentric, egg-shell-thin 
version of a World when your equilibrium rebounds 
into jeopardy before hopelessly shattering; oh sure, 
you won’t be dispossessed, as tho you’ve anything 
left from previous fiascos - but here we are, waxing 
lyrical in th’ throes of scheduling live TV recordings 
for th’ Mitre 10 Cup Finals, err, semis - which might 
explain why it doesn’t seem to be happening, okay 

If something’s t’ be blamed it’ll be in Foxtel’s blasé 
programming and nonchalance about Rugby, as if 
it isn’t th’ only Sport worth watching Live - Heaven 
forbid further utterances defending such heresy; & 
tho defeated - we’ll meekly downplay all our angst 
into making arrangements t’ be present & seated
