The gift of reading (‘each one teach one’)
Some have dirty ones
Some have spotless hi-viz
Some call it pride
Some call it hiding in plain view
Some have the reds
Some have the blues
Some have the purples
Some walk in circles
Some call it photo op
Some call it stop photoing strangers
Unless uv sought permission
Some call it algorithm
Some call it ‘beware the man of one book’
Some have big ears like Dr Spock
Some like it cold
Some like it hot
A sister & I spoke about balance
Someone once bought a beer
‘For the man who “shot Liberty Valance”’
Some get barred many times over
Some say silence is golden
Some silences are stolen
Some enforced
I still think the best sports car is the Porsche 911
I bet they don’t issue those anymore do they?
Teleported millions of wonderful Americans
One of them a painter said
Something about mixing comedy with taboos
Some people will kill over it
Most comedy you yawn till you snooze
Some say ‘if you snooze you lose’
In Australia up until the 80s
Poor people were respected & loved
As “battlers,” not ‘losers’
As Jeff Fenech said when he won
World boxing titles in 4 weight divisions
“I love yas all”
A poem that must be remembered
Too many are ignored or lost xx
Late Winter snap in Naarm
Beware of the frost
Poetry heels
If you wanna wear heels that’s your business
Some people care much
They think we’re all ‘doomed’
I care a lot
About this I’m not confused
Go well, One Love
