War
Your imminence - when you invade, as we are told you will, be sure to never leave the shade - the sun can make you ill. Who said that light defeats the dark? It’s often the reverse, the all too curvy story arc with prose instead of verse, without any unicorns but full of blood and gore - the viewer blinks, the reader scorns, but both sit tight for more. The light gets dark, the dark goes light, the markets go awry and villain forced to be a knight might break and fall and cry, and all for what? A piece of land? An ego scratched to bliss? And even if all goes as planned, some things will be amiss, no mater how you beat the drum, what monsters you befriend - but in the end the end will come; it always comes, the end.

I wanted to title this something different, but worried that my chosen title might cause problems entering the United States in the future so this is the new title. It's the greatest title. No one has ever written a title better than this. (All titles unrelated to content).
Let me be honest. I am finding this difficult. Now, I like a challenge, a stretch, a bit of an obstacle course. “Write about the decline of the British Empire in the form of a narrative poem in which your protagonist is an artichoke” I read, and flex my fingers. “Write a haiku to evoke the sensation of sibilance using only the first half of the alphabet.” “Well”, I think to myself, “this should be fun.” But “write about a system that isn’t working”? A system that isn’t working? Now? In 2026? ONE system? My favourite system that isn’t working? The sexiest system that isn’t working? The one giving me the most angst day to day? The one giving me the most existential dread? I am, as I say, finding this difficult. I will own that I have contemplated writing a thousand words on why the steady “all on” setting on my fairy lights is the EIGHTH of seven options which must be sequentially activated to get there, because that is a system that some fool came up with and it definitely doesn’t work, and now who is paying the price, eh? But how can I write about my fairy lights when…. When…. When….
