Adelaide Street: pram, cot, cradle, 2003.
‘Adelaide Street’
Grand name for somewhere so small, so ordinary:
Australia however is very big and …
Autumn has an ‘n’ on it
A TOTAL plastic carrier bag sniffs the ground and takes a short cut:
Comfy chairs rot side by side
Broken tiles make maps on bits of walls and shadows stretch as far as they dare
Shutter eyes; locked up doors –
Danger – 33,000 volts
Up the wooden stairs go shady souls –
Shattered glass from pot shots at already dead targets
Pushing the pram across to Adelaide Street
Named the child ‘Robert’
‘Robert Burns’
Grand name for something so small, so ordinary.
