Plant the News
Poem I wrote in a workshop in Oxford.
Plant the news in tomorrow’s landfill
Because the politicians and comedians
Have swapped roles.
🤡
Have I come to the right convention?
Is this the right bathroom?
There’s green-lit eyes on stamps,
And those red cheeks at the labels.
💮
Think about it: these tropes
are just a fraction of humanity
🫂
Forget misery; practise the peace
We’ve been practising in the
Palaces of deities.
🦅
Because if the bar is open
It’s never too late or too early
To hydrate.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
