Programmed By Weather

Programmed By Weather

We bend

Beyond tiredness

We can barely see

And rest is hidden

Anaesthetised

By essential needs

And rain be all our throes

An ominous, direful drench

That mires remaining un-greed

And wants, I suspect

To eat us

Three elder cyclones

Be it’s children

Adrift in labyrinth schemes

Then later, in private focus

I sense it’s weakness

So is there hope

In that exigent moment?

Or are we just programmed by weather?

On a cloudless sunset, we find love

Grey skies, gloom descends, love ends

Are we not guided by the weather?

Are we not slaves to the skies?

Are we not tracked by satellites?

Under a cloudless sky, we find hope

Grey skies, gloom descends, only the strong survive

Black Market Bear

Black Market Bear

i always try

to spend my share

and prop up

the black market bear

traced my donations

into the caves

trucked through mountains

across the waves

and tall thai Eddie

n’ little Aussie Phil

will wash your money

runny nose kill

up and down this street

these blokes you can trust

their lives squashed flat

commissioned in rust

and what else can they do

when dreams are taken from you

and what else can they be

in this black market economy

he picks up his tea

of poisoned leaves

flies through the night

no-one at his side

no-one to hold him
