They will question your commitment

to their cause,

the one you never

realised you signed up for

when you wrote about them

in black typed Bookman

Old Style and at size twelve

Font; they will mistrust

when there is a day away,

when you take time from Time

and they will suspect that you

are not one of them,

when you don’t even know what one

of them is.

Less money, less by-line, less

show of hands, just ravenous eagles

soaring high in blue bible sky.
