The Last Remaining Ritual

World Cup Iniciation

“They shall ball unto Xibalba.”

-Ellis Wiens

    World Cup 
about to initiate 
       my city
everyone green clad
   homogenized
I've locked doors
        hiding
anchorite mad
   maniacal scribe
   diagrams sprawl
         connecting :

         last tether
                     ----to the child corpse of play
                  I'm failing
         my country's only patriotic duty
             no place to hide
             cries hurl
                          from outside
 
                 I must scream
             but I have no team 
                       .
                          . 
                              .
               !¯¯¯¯(GOl)¯¯¯¯¯!
