so when it’s raining
we get scared

a grade 11 pupil
out Kranskop way
tells eTV news

his principal
is first-named
Wiseman
(appropriately)

who says
the department
has failed
them

never you mind
COVID-19
and all that

all that
that gets
the blame

(it seems
the old
normal)

is it so
elsewhere
too
on planet earth

Tuesday evening’s eTV news tells us of the everyday. The title is eTV’s.
