Gypsy Jasmyn
Misplaced peg squirms to fit locales unfamiliar
Illformed tumbleweed pauses then departs
Traits assessed on somewhere else's charts
Easily establishes enemies, little gypsy peculiar
Streets of secrecy, social strategy a stranger
Rolls from Rockdale, Rockingham, Rockhampton
Unaided operation sketches a champion
Bulging solo aptitude, high tolerance to danger
Drifting past family structures, clutches chances
Data disposed of overflows in memory shredder
Fresh beginnings fail friendships, bewilder her
New girl novel melts before meaningful advances
Perpetually caught in premature adulthood
Intake span of someone far her senior
Gypsy next city glee denies daddy anemia
Escape keeps temptation stability should
Mystique of psychic crystal ball rub predicts
Bored people thrown on her path, until overawed
They resume stock standard sequence, abhorred
At how she moves undeterred, her hasty skips
Deliver Duke Travel, a compulsory companion
Collar stiff against any threatening storm
Gaping heart swaps masks, instant reform
Road ahead bound in belonging she imagines
23rd May
Bird flown away
