A staffroom 
Like a game of survivor, 
Each year 
A season 
.
Vying for stature, opinionation
Compounded by dysfunction,
.
And yet, after every vote
I can’t help but feel 
That though 
Everyone present, loses,
.
It's never exactly clear 
Who stands alone, the winner.
.
.
A staffroom, a microcosm, 
A mechanism 
Within the greater workings
.
Of a yet larger, over-burdened machine. 
.
And though I’ve seen it often, 
Though I appreciate that we are
Evolutionarily social creatures,
.
I can’t help but consider government 
.
And so chart my future 
Ever further
.
North.
