Preoccupation
In a strange arena,
Ostensibly
Out of the range
of the clean-up crew,
Their general rival,
Throwing them
Out of the interior
Before they've begun
To fight back
In this battle
Of tight wills;
Fastening victory,
With the help of the referee
Adjudicating triumph.
Favourite cheers,
Trumpets press on
In congratulation,
The might has merged.
