Saw It On TV

It was a silly, trifling and completely
inconsequential disagreement.
The kind you regret instantly, but
we’d already disagreed.

On principle we must now progress
from light-hearted jest to entrenched
positions where defences erected
stonewall rational and sane desires
to end an obvious nonsense.

And the nonsense it was merely
entailed a nameless comet neither
of us could see in a huge, starlit sky.
But it’s there, you proclaim, I saw it
– on TV.
