Poem -

The house is dead

The house across the street 
Is demoed. 

That Queenslander is now dead;

The soul of the fucking thing

Gone to heaven

So I can see the road from my balcony 

That was always behind it.

A busy little no-thu.

But right now is not the time for

Sentiment, now someone 

Is building Yuppie Towers.

It's only been 8 and a half years.

I think to myself,

Going to put on my drinking pants.

Please explain the Heaven on Earth and when shall it begin?

Soon?

I don't know if we get a feeling first...

Do you?

Yuppie towers have no fucking soul. I feel for you. What colour are drinking pants and where can I get some?. It's only right one should be appropriately dressed at all times.... x

M, I regret to inform you that you're probably already wearing your Drinking pants. They're just one's regulars.

Oh I'm all for evolution however not the yuppy towers please. So many interesting aspects to this one dear Rory, especially like the fact you inadvertently called the dead guy very kind. Environment and as you do you put your soul into the very uniqueness you bring to your poetry. 🌹

Eight and a half years is nothing really unless you are a Mayfly and then it's one helluva very very long time .. I do feel for you tho' Rory, who wants a flipping yuppy tower staring them write in the face all the time .. Writ with a real passion .. and just for the record, I'm on your side sir .. N
