Day 26


from the ABC set Lent 2007

Benedict holds no discipline to their dismay
So, resent the lackadaisical way he harvests an
indigenous talent for happiness.

What is there to save us from anyway
a voracious thirst for soda pop salvation?
Hold off redemption.

The polling stations open at six am
our set broadcasts MTV to the drawn-curtain world
we’ve been asleep on the sofa for ten years.

Pride in believing only in the sperm-born
rituals of bowls, Rizla, bottles
communion of a sub- generational church.

Benedict has a rule.
