Bora born
Inverted by design _
An early start tests a cold water shower
with wonder when it's fifteen degrees outside.
The hair needs a wash after seven days days of
cabin fever dreamed up on this mizzle road
of do nothing days slow tracking mountain time.
Half way down the gillies range the marlin coast
dishes up paradise lost from top down mist.
George rings to babble on through apples' car phone
yet holds for the passing maneuver around
the slow lane not willing to test anti-skid.
We yarn yarn all the way to the black spot near
trimbles crossing where the phone always drops out.
George gets the message murri people might
overlook where kids are concerned, when hygiene
gets a backward glance while this virus must run.
So bad too sad the story takes a different
turn with the young who bounce off this affliction.
Hidden in plain sight comes the deception, slid
under kiss like hugs spread by life's sacred youth
who show no message this virus surely sends.
