The Barnaby
egotists the hungry
ghosts
struggle to live life
on an even keel  belly up
to the bars    ectoplasm dropping
up and down the urban
trails   
in the hinterland with
litch gates
looking down at
land   chewing 
on development  with dirt  stirring 
water in   add sand  
the pellets
of their leavings   
it’s a garrison town 
it’s a dormitory
suburb  
a transit hub
our entertainment precinct   
 leaf litter  droppings  and
the bowers
 painted up in tea bags
 berry inks
all the tricky trash
and tatt
ghost-bright eye-spied
how we live 
this place   thick with it
new rodents  and no traps
 
a new dance craze!

ReplyDeleteThat's a scary clown! Terrific.
ReplyDeleteyou put your foot in your mouth
ReplyDeleteyou do a smug pout
show that you know nothing
and you shake it all about
I want to hear this on the uke
