Friday on my mind
Lucia Moon
Gonna have fun in the city
told my job provider
I got a job & the office
rose up in applause
It’s always the ones at the bottom
so supportive
I felt shitty
took the escalator past Market City
A homeless man knelt
on the paper begging
while reading the blow-by-blow
Dutton-Turnbull disaster
micro-lettering
School kids draped in
daffodil yellow on Daffodil day
surprise!
Cancer rode the tram
Took a coffee in a disposable cup
a plastic spoon, turtle
ate duck
thought about meat in the shape
of vegan meat, what is meat, is it
flesh or form
like this poem, oh Scott Morrison
walked in
where the bloody hell
did he spring from
Sovereign Borders, I ran
& limped my way through yoga
recoiled
at 30 young babes in lycra
shouting OM
shanti
shanti
shanti
it means peace
she declared, at the end.
