SHADES OF FABRICATION
By Peter Woodgate
Business colours
disguised as team shirts
worn by players
who, with one swift kick
of the Nike boot, earn
the equivalent
of one year’s labour.
Brain cells educated,
by the advertisements,
having us believing
costly is excellence.
Side by side,
on the rail,
in the charity shop,
Versace and Winfield
are equal in the eyes
as they pass through the fingers
of the one who relies,
on simple tog value.

Nice idea. When the chips are down comfort is all that matters. Nice piece...
ReplyDeleteYep - vultures disguised in fine feathers.
ReplyDeleteLovely description of social finery/trickery - I guess they’ll all be wearing joggers or pyjamas now under a shirt and tie for their dial-in online meetings
