Poetic beginings

Listening to: the wind

The aliens roamed the Johnsonville shopping mall on a cold Thursday morning

 

The Chinese searched out the students in the food court /Rounded them up at gunpoint /forced them into a book shop/put them all on a culture waltz

 

The South Americans gripped amazed shoppers/salsa danced down the walkways/ tapping feet against the hard floor/ dreaming  of other places/ happy and sad criss crossed their moods

 

 

The Dutch played dice at the tables with rattle bags of leather/Rolled cheeses and followed on their bikes/ a colour scape whirl of thick gin saturate

 

The Arabs darted from shop to shop/ was terror on their minds?/Muddle huddled westerners expecting surely not/But only dark giggles was their lot

 

Then sirens roared and doors burst wide /Team America  on the job/

Bullet proof garb weapons at the ready / round up roars / all lying on the floor/These alien aliens restore the store/ God bless……
