An odd day

A tram ride
Out and away from everyone
On my own A l o n e
Sunny day 
Adventure starts
Melbournian travails 

Occitan heart 
Around my neck
Thinking on it.

A cappuccino 
Sadness seeing
So many memories 
aboriginal repression.
Culturally supposed 
Senior superiority 

On to other views
An historic walk 
Through film
From Lumière -

Saw t-shirt 
Now is the happiest 
Time

On the bank of 
The Yarra river
On the brink of
What?

A sensational 
Sensual stop
In another time
Alas these sex
Encounters
Mostly are
Created in
A carefree 
Youthful 
Yonder period 
When I had them
Both.  

Dreamening
So very apt
Here in Aussie 

Hideout within
Has been a hit 
Saying little 
Thinking so 
Much more
Observing 
A compulsive 
Obsession 
Reading the signs
Of the bodies
Before the term
Became the norm.

Three fishermen 
Trying to catch
Mullets? Mudsuckers?

For a river not 
A whole lot of
Boats bobbing 
River cruise line 
Announces
The upcoming tour.


Behind me on
The busy foot path
Humans walk
No longer 
In their Sunday best
But basically 
Just whatever 
Strike their whims -
Purse, trip, or 
Practicality.

Have since turned
Away from the sun 
Still leaning against 
The tall palm
In the shade
Of its trunk.

Across the water
On Fed Square
Music of much
Variety is watered
Down by the distance.

Lanky bodies 
Determined dearly
To haul nothing
Or bulky backpacks
An aim or without 
Just gobbling up
A great day’s
Complying wonder.

On to a new tram
Having been ‘home’
A cups dry tea
A few choco bites
Listening to 
Couple’s conversation 
Newly aquatinted 
First date??

On to my son’s
To meet family.
