Check the neatness
of the homeless
under Glebe rail bridge –
to each their own arch
open plan, plein air
here a brushed tent
a swag-bed rolled
camp bed made
cardboard pantry
wardrobe trolley.
Minimilists
before their time.
A ragman’s bike
a spirit cooker …
what’s to declutter?
what forsake?
Arty bastards.
yes
even
the gravel
looks Zen raked.
You’re tidy shamed
by a pair of shoes
in the spick & span sun
a’bask in the arch
so sweetly arrayed.
The dirty mercy
of house proud poverty
don’t need no maid.
