This #PoemsAbout #Rot is for any football fans disgusted by wha been goin on at the Etihad. Thanks as ever to @thebrokenspine.co.uk
Rot Rain into grass, crowd into club, street into stand,
father into son.
The roots went deep. They drew on place, memory,
rivalry, the stubborn hope
of another Saturday.
Then came the harvesters.
The shirt.
The ground.
The kick-off.
The television rights.
Sham contracts worked into the earth, accounts tattened, money buried, dug up,
called something else. Season after season the trophies came, bright fruit
from poisoned ground. Now the roots are shallow,
but the rot is deep.
Again.
Again. Until the soil
gave up its goodness.
What remained
was fed with money.
Artificial light.
Artificial heat.
Artificial growth.
And City rejoiced in barren soil. brands. assets.
data. And where the game once grew from the ground, something rank has taken hold, blue, glossy,
rampant,
feeding on what is left.

In the absence of a #notbeerbods last night, and because it's now Cask Beer Week, here's my first beer of the Bluebell Railway Beer Festival. I love a red ale done well and Dorking Red India was exactly that. Also steam trains and so on. It's a great event! #bskybeer

Silver Age Batman and Robin stand on a football field. Batman lectures a team of football players consisting of mostly white people and two Black teammates: "Don't weaken our country! A nation divided by prejudice is like a football team without teamwork! So get together...work and play in harmony--and you'll have a successful team!"
A white football player replies, "Thanks, BATMAN, we will!"
