Bora born
Hell’s bells clang _
Love brings up anything so unlike itself
so goes reality in our stressful times.
The heart attack for the street man pervades this
surreal scene one day before his eviction
as hoarder of things where asian girl's bling sings.
People friends move to store his gear in places
found to save only bits of a troubled life.
From the cairns base he's flown to townsville, open
heart surgery to replace torn clogged valves, worn
out by never ending tilts in body song.
A kind old man young women warm to when
gifts appear, his disability envibes.
Behind sweeter smiles may lie sharper teeth shaped
through life and so it is with the street man who
fantasies on love's creepy young promise.
