Sleeping Well

Boldly I exhume exclusion, a badge of sacrifice
Milestones shunned, money’s usual manoeuvre 
Cultural flimsy stronghold, servant’s fiscal price
Top tier requires slaves toil all day for approval


Nonetheless, pleasingly, I hail our lucky country 
Offers safety, anonymity, hovel unacknowledged 
No need to solidify alliances, desperately hungry
Primed pilferers for immediate advantage pillage


Supplementing streetscapes bolster unsold soles
Trove tumbledryer drums cook my new costume 
Accesses babyboomer tower, to fire escape stole
Secure deep sleep from moonless cement room





                   Adverse to version of 
               us who refuse to assimilate 


                 A new season  - Winter 
                       Begins today

Bright moon's majesty

     Lively streetscapes illumined

        ~ Hubby snores away
