(Moerewa)
You used to worry about what to do
but now you just do it – who cares?
You don’t have a career
but you do have a job.
Are you married? people ask.
No, you’re not married –
you’re not really fussed.
But who will protect you at night?
even though they know they needn’t bother asking – there’s something different about you
(where is she from?)
like
you might not be packing but you know where the guns are.
