Sport 25: Spring 2000

as is the way with adults

as is the way with adults

i think i'd asked her
ninety-nine times
while she weeded the annual bed

but why
do we
live here?

and had i received
a satisfactory
answer?

regarding
the skinhead hills
the firebreak partings

but now he's gone ahead
to the new job
and found us a house to rent

she's packing up
we're moving out

page 164

we have to trap the cat
Mr Kitts
called after
the Mayor

and put in a cage
in the truck
but first

with knowing pats
she prised apart
his jaws

and poked a tablet down his gullet
to make him
sedate

and for us
because of
car sickness drama

mine crushed
in a
teaspoon of

honey
i will never
live

in The Hutt
Valley
again

no
not for love
nor money
