Nature strip
country
shaped like argument
bound with fish skin, velvet, brass
propped on CRT TV
loud with shopping trolley kids
           look she’s staring at me
holding stormwater drain span
along all its distances
distances the trolley travels
with a single push
holding office building
           what’s on for the weekend, peeps?Â
thick with wet cement promise
hot garden hose knot
high-vis boys in fashion ute
           put your helmet on! SLUT!Â
country
shaped like question
low-res pic of Jupiter
anything about the universe I’m goneÂ
thick with lost budgies
high dwell-time outdoor space
holding old New Yorker calendar
           how was the weekend, peeps?
distances the baby travels
with a solid push
holding partitioning systems
along all its cubicles
loud with Sharpie love advice
           ENGAGE YOUR FLUX CAPACITOR
bound with zeroes, gold pens, wax
propped in vacant block
shaped like argument
country
