Same Hapless Thing Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Same Hapless Thing



Ah! woe is me!
The same hapless thing
Again
Again
Again
Occurs and re-occurs.

How many nights
Had I
With open eyes of
Waking fretting
Stood
Fearing
The hapless thing?


Time had to pass
For the hapless thing
Not to occur:
But as the game
Stood finished in tow
With extra time
The goal of misfortune
Destiny scored
With the last breath
With the last try
In the last second.
