Jean Paul Sartre and Francis Thompson Walk into a Bar...

No Exit 1

I fled it, down the minutes and down the hours 2
I fled it, from each InterGossip troll
I fled it, despairing, with weakening powers
But I could not escape the super bowl

1 No Exit, Jean Paul Sartre
2 “The Hound of Heaven,” Francis Thompson



(I recused myself from the annual high holy day liturgy sacred to the Republic, but can't escape the morning-after conversations.)
