Replying to a comment on:

Round 27 (Free verse) by Dovina

In a nation where war backfires and trust in naves erodes, a viral infection permeates the collective mind, emitting technological devices, erecting a paling of standard excuses.

Thanks for the comment. The title is merely angst at how many times it takes in the boxing ring for a country to get it. Nothing special about the number 27.

The “paling” bit could be rewritten for clarity: “a viral infection permeates the collective mind, emitting technological devices, and erecting for itself a fence of sharp sticks, pointed upward, which serve as a neat collection of standard excuses against anyone who objects.”
