no more looking for heroes in the trenches
no more staying up at night to raise the rules
no more wimpering in the shadows
no more bringing everything back home
to where it got
to look like rot
a bit too fast
and made to last
We none of us wanted a palace: we liked this humming little hell-hole with its atrophied rules and characters, its ogres and mascots. Alan Hollinghurst The Folding Star
