Tuesday night, rehearsal night, in Mayfield 2304.

dusk too slow in Christmas week

the heat    and you   garage band

I know the covers  off by heart 

  welcome in your tangle  beat

 by beat 

 here he lags

 there he runs  

you keep no secrets

from me    weekly  wamping out

the music   of our home-owning

fifty-something times-gone-by

suburbia

so what

I never hear you

anywhere but home

  behind what fence

  inside what

  colourbonded

  color-coded 

land of sufficiency

I have come to take you in

with my Webster Pak

of comforts

along with carer visits   waves at shopkeeps    coffee on the footpath

please don’t

die of natural causes

go down fighting   be no

total eclipse

of the heart
