The sky it cracks with thunder
Yet so relaxing...

Melbourne Cup DayYes, it's the racing carnival,
Fashionistas so topical,
Significance trivial,
Lovely fillies,
Eye candy,
Drunk and silly,
Studs in suits,
Looking beaut,
Glitterati,
Haves and wannabes,
For the paparazzi,
Doyens of the racing industry,
You all look fabulous,
Gambling magnanimous,
Thoroughbreds' gloss,
Media hype and dross,
Great racing day,
Booze, bets and babes,
Stuff the plebs today,
Our public holiday,
Melbourne Cup Day!...

MelbourneI circle inside you
Through your cold centre
Warmed by what others
Have left in you.
How conservatively wild you are.
How stark and polite.
You caress secrets so tenderly,
Saved for the seeking masses.
I watch as a kaleidescope of colours,
Dance to my feet here,
And whisper from higher spaces.
You have...

Don'T Need Daylight In MelbourneYou don't need daylight in the city
you feel more connected
to the bigger picture
(how big is yours?)
somehow that makes sense
somewhere in my head
yours too I presume
not that you need daylight
anywhere for that matter
just ask the blind
(not the one on the window)
we ate Italian in hardware...

Spreading the virus asunder...

Melbourne
A pathway along the river
leads to where its waters widen
into the bay, an armada of small boats
tug on mooring lines and beyond,
rising up out of a reflected sky,
the city sends golden spires
high into the evening air.
It's more than just a place, a city
compounded of...

PrioritiesOur queen rules another realm, I believe,
From here to Eternity, we grieve,
Melbourne, Victoria, has its priorities,
We'll have a four-day weekend, you see,
Pomp of royalty, footy final at the MCG,
Massacre by Geelong, possibility,
Pies might be in it to win it, tee hee,
Showtime next week as well,...

Move To the MainlandDisembarkment hearkened a largely unknown universe
Melbourne's sky lifting grid hidden partially
Behind rows of giraffe laughing palm trees
He dinged his car in the line to leave the car park
Home now to brazen 20 year olds, brought both cars
Had booked accommodation in suburb 5 miles north
She...

Die LaughingThe White House has COVID-19
As face masks were never routine
Red hat or red tie
He'll laugh while you die
Our death toll is clearly obscene*
*Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, just
celebrated 0 infections 0 deaths by
following pandemic practices instead
of Trump's Ouija Board predictions...
