Marrickville Rd Sonnet
first her head upon folded arms
in the Delish food bar  considering
the Paris Bakery as terraces of rice
outside Bac Ha  then inside Ga Lao Cai
she recalls French tourists eating papaya
while a Vietnam Vet stinks of piss and speaks
with himself on a BARTÂ Â gliding above Oakland
what if everything lives in opposition  he thinks
as two old Greeks Shree Durga Matha  are in fact
a bus tailgating a bike rider  a half-moon that
guides the wind  while shopfronts peel for
the love of footy and plastic fruit  out the front
of Centrelink  for the love of this
