You
Can’t Make Money with a gun in your Hand.
(Rockwall St, Potts Point. )
There’s a brown man barking
with his horn
right where charmed and
charming diners
dine
Dog eat dog
eat dog
eat dog
dog dog
spits out the man-buns
like fish bones
on the dishlicker’s plate
the footpath
gentle, groomed
sweet pedigrees touch the sun
smile at me
plonked alien in their yard
Rockwall Street half-stage
the Sydney of another time
and forty floors above
back up on Macleay
the maids are in to clean
pillows flying
white butterflies and sun

Oh yes, know it. The great divide. Great poem.
