Antagonist

familiarity 

is 

an 

adversary 

it requires no 

ingenuity 

you welcome it 

solely for safety,

you pass up 

street food 

for a Wimpy, 

a plush yacht 

for a dingy, 

a conversation 

with your phone 

instead of me, 

you listen to 

robotic nonsense 

instead of a symphony,

jog 10 miles 

instead 

of taking a cab, 

favour the 

nondescript 

over the drab 

a half cooked saveloy 

for a freshly 

cooked crab,

you go and 

hunt a squirrel 

instead of a stag,

light a cigarette 

without taking a drag

promote nihilism 

whilst choosing 

a religion

you exhibit 

the traits 

of a Protagonist

disguised 

as 

an

Antagonist
