Poetess


You're the McCarron, the girl

with all the verses

As Australian as Les Murray

or Dame Edna Everage.

Poet or poetess?

It's six and half a dozen

ostrich eggs.


Koalas, parrots,

and kangaroos

Les Murray as Poet Laureate,

what are we going to do?


We'll have to lay the golden

verses that make Australia

begs us to come back again

and again like boomerangs.


Cos' we've got the nous,

the kangaroos can't jump

so high, and tell me this,

what rhymes with woomerangs?

Shebangs, meringues,

burrawangs!

You are so right.
But it's more than language.
It's kissing rings
and burying heads in sand
All the whlle pretending to manhood
while fondling a set of butt cheeks.

You know far more poetesses [kind of rolls off the tongue] than I. But you made me recall the poem I heard only once from a black activist poetess in the 1960s that ended with the striking phrase…

"… soon, we be dead." Illustrating the briefness of causes and the need to be urgent if progress is to be made on something like civil rights.
