Hobart Harlot

Had chasing salacious not sparked her curious 
     Outcast student wouldn’t have bothered to goad
     Beguile fellow fifteen year old, sordid suggested
     Accompany her on dirty double date, get stoned
     Recklessly rush into raunchy actions, clueless
     Temptation harvests travesty, tender suspended


     Hidden in high laughing heart, slick chimera pelt
     Adrenaline aces enamour or war around the corner
     Ready to frolic,fight, backpacks bulge with bravado
     Lurid drunk promenade, concrete jungle hunt fauna
     Onyx drawn eyes harden dark, debauchery dealt 
     Transfers opioids, rapid ricochet carries cruel cargo







                         30th May
                They’ll never get cold

An Island Too Far

An island afar

In Tasmania, the sheep were full of sot
a land where white farmers had killed off the Tasmanian tiger.
The sheep’s only enemy was the man.
There were a fire people sought refuge in the water
and sheep left to find their food wherever there was a green spot.
I was in Hobart once, l it must be classed as the most boring city in the world.
people here were eating fish and chips fried in sheep fat
This place of bungalows, secure in their little life in a cocoon of the trite, 
do not improve on their culinary skills

Tasmania

Tasmania 

Wool of the sheep in Tasmania is full of soot a fire has 
destroyed the farms they belonged to. They have gone 
feral now grazing where there is any grass left… 
In a country where insensitive incomers stupidly  killed 
off the Tasmanian tiger, sheep are safe, no predators, 
but man. Tasmania, this land of bungalows, sheep and 
white immigrants seeking an Eden sans fear, then came 
the big fire and people had to flee into the sea to avoid 
getting burned. I was in Hobart once, it must be classed
as the most boring town in the world; and to my utter 
disgust they sold margarine made of  sheep´s fat. Think 
of if fish & chips cooked in THAT FAT. People who live in 
a secure society  do not improve their culinary taste or
and their culture ,tend to be provincial and they love fat 
sheep meat; an adoration which is typical for a people
 who lives in a cultural cocoon.
