Comforting


The arm rest
In the middle of the park bench
Is provided for your comfort,
So you don’t have to see
Poor people
Sleeping.

Peer Group Pressure


The purple
Gaseous life form
Infant
Playing with your universe
On his phone
Just raised
The difficulty level.

Tomorrow
He turns two hundred and seventy,
His first day of school,
And he wants
To impress.

Never


Saturday morning and
Couch and
Coco Pops and
Cartoons and
Adults go away, and
Adults go away.

And never having
To work for bastards and
She
Never died and

adults go away, and
adults go away.

Melbourne


Women wearing winter
Coats,
Black,
Pulling fallen palm fronds
From
St. Kilda beach
Back to the office
For a photo shoot.

Melbourne.

Geese


Rich people
Kill the goose
By feeding it gold.

Willemyns


Staring at the space
Where the stolen Mona Lisa
Once was,

Staring at the space
Where Patrick’s cooking
Once was.

Belly


The reflection
Of the sunset
On a cockatoo’s
Belly,
Is better than
Whatever you
Are watching on the
Telly.
