Today’s dullness is divulged like a regional news
bulletin - a bit ho-hum yet the tone suggests that
more’s to come, probably in the 9 am delivery, a
wait with some trepidation anticipated; we’ve no
precedent suggesting welcome rain may be in it
although the cold grey sky blends seamlessly all
about and blotting out faux enthusiasm of news
presenters’ theatrically vocalised presentiments
Tisn’t the quality of ABC National News delivery
that offends but the blasé choice of all arbitrary
terms tendering grades of concern, i.e. - might
matter a bit through crickey, it’s a worry and yet
we’re dealing with presupposed effects only an
unexpected event-pattern is likely to churn
That isn’t to say its their fault; they play to rules
embedded in vast network intrigues - innuendo
and consensual window dressing - while we’re
left to gaze at skies - bewildered by a belatedly
obvious chance of something falling earthward
as the omnipresence of even duller news
