Intermission
A thousand lines in chapters, nine
in the prelude of this epic tale
my reader numbers down to one
and I conclude a fail.
It made a pleasant change, he said,
from my sonnets on the news
all depressing tales of woe
and homophobic views.
But my epic tale of artistry
and Catholic faith of legion
is balancing on tedium
and the bigoted religion.
I think, therefore, a break is due
from my apocalyptic stories
to cover the transphobic news
of Republicans and Tories.
