Ai Wei Wei & my orbit

 






i have described a weave


in ever widening circles


during an epoch


of ever narrowing ones


there are no shortcuts


pause


to watch the ladybird & the butterflies


girls giggling about beginnings of ends


the ebb & flow


when they get up from their rest


they will


gain & lose




The End


inside


outside


many interweaving journies


under gravity


& outside


in a spinning world


on a rotating planet


which is a spec


orbiting a tiny sun


orbited by a tinier moon


hurtling 10s of thousands of kilometres


multidirectionally


Time is dual


one relative


one eternal


we come from the ground


water


we are mostly


& yet certain poems 


transcend


loosen


& 


bind...



without end...



we begin...



time to sing & dance...



someone vanishes



someone appears



a skateboarder sticks a landing



& the youths all cheer




i finish my cigarette



to sit in the late Spring sun



a currawong bells



lorrikeets fly



like forever



merely a souvenir?

Win ugly

  Win ugly I win ugly for some bloody reason I win ugly Life’s like footy Playin into the wind Some days you act like you wish it was over Some days you get the word from the coach & you take it in your stride Though you know ur only D grade Who thought you could play ruck rover & play a ruddy blinder Who thought you had it in ya? Not even ur mother Where did that come from? For you to walk like a king who knew you could sing? About pawning ur weddin ring When ur alone You ain’t nothin but alone Just don’t scam yourself Though u can’t get any help Yes I win ugly I like it in the wet Like a 10 year old boy Drawing with a stick in the dirt Go in hard & you don’t get hurt But a wise man once scribbled The hard is overcome by the soft Like stone in water Like watching a child’s first steps One day in the sun Feelin so privileged to have been there How’d you get so lucky? Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Worth the price of admission To this valley of tears Coz every now ...
