Saga Of Senility

You might call it the saga of senility - if you 

could actually remember all the detail, and 

even then this thing happened incidentally; 

that only became clearer much later, when 

desperation dug its heels in - not a penny-

drop revelation - more a reality it created - 

the metaphorically obvious sustained in a 

gracious likeness to fallacious prediction 

Except it was a farce; this wasn’t anarchy 

per se but a delusory state - not quite out 

of the Arc but dubious enough once veils 

were raised & thus all implicated sagacity 

paled into dust, what seemed ‘irrefutably’ 

a virus invasion then cried wolf and died 

So we’re saved degeneration’s slow and 

inevitable descent into that ‘I told you so’ 

event - which didn't happen or threaten - 

and faces of the sages ‘saved’ from their 

acrylic anima pave a street to where the 

internet functions quite properly again
