Long Play out Poems

we have three political ways
to compare a population's internal status:
a. Aboriginal populations,
b. Immigrants--sometimes appearing as multiculturing creolic waves,

Russell...the Ghost of Never-land

projected onto the insides of my eyelids,
a film I’ve watched a thousand times.

The bells! The bells!
My looney, tuney pals!
The bells! The bells!

Repeat a phrase that I thought mad,
