Poems the size of Les Murray







1.
There’s a woman in the Union Hotel front bar
drinking Reschs. On the jukebox,
Hank Williams – There’s a Tear in my Beer.





2.
There’s a bloke in Martin Place
drinking metho to wash away
the taste of the VB he’d started on.




3.
That kid in winklepickers
ordering Beam and coke
at Kurri Workers knows better.




4.
There’s a big man in the shade
of some Buladelah café
wheezing on his Samsung,
talking Sanskrit to his cows.
