in pink cardigan and grey shorts
girl keeps boxer dog on lead
wood-ducks waddle past
top-knots peck grass seed
young lad on scooter
helmet tied below chin
young lovers sprawl on rug
don’t even notice him
lone women power-walks
carries water bottle
wears sunglasses after sunset
strides out under wattle
i-pod in ears
doesn’t hear a thing
boy falls off scooter
frightens ducks with bell-ring
sun-glow through swaying gums
sets past pagoda restaurant
lovers feast on take-away
gourmet or gourmand?
he is very thin,
she’s the other way
not that it’s important
Jack Spratt lives today
outdoor umbrellas
same shape as roof
cream gazebo similar
Chinese influence both
pink cotton-wool clouds
drift above in tiers
hear baby galahs
motorized bike appears
musgovy on other side
of Lake Weerona green
pert couple with pusher
red-hair, skin-tight jeans
little baby girl
red-teat water-bottle
King Charles spaniel
tight collar will throttle
bald bloke with beer-gut
lugs frame, shoulders heave
during evening constitutional
struggling to breathe

| Poem: |
DADDY LONG LEGS |
| |
|
|
yesterday heard desperate buzz fly trapped in fine web fuzz daddy long legs runs full strength spins new threads of varying lengths in corner of room three other spiders make moves towards prisoner there each time repelled by proprietor most reluctant prey to share today notice nothing remains victor sated waits for new victim again
