Bora born
When theatre comes to town _
First night, birth light of the elite's clandestine
triumph over activist's love for old trees.
Arbor day plants 70 years old had morphed
into giant sentinals' balanced spans to tempt
a devil eyed mayor, the rate payers lament.
Munro Martin, once Norman park, a wasted
space they said full of drunk murries' loud pretense.
A stain on imported sensibilities
feed off each other at breakfast bars reserved
for civic leaders who take no prisoners.
An attack weapon of deception had been
used on these sentinels last human defence.
While chained to these giants the attack went in two
blocks away, a street scape wiped away by chain
saws in the time it takes to restaurant a meal.
This city usurped by southern culture for
decades has lost it's essential raw essence.
A new breed of beltway what's in it for me
parasites permeate the ethnosphere of
of this city, entitlement rife abounds.
To celebrate Munro Martin Park's cultured
transition, Opera invigorates the stage.
A translation of song in speak lights up a
big screen so the audience knows what's going
on, and not one aboriginal in sight.
