a warm tram home
women jostle for seats
as we trundle up
brunswick street
on the way in
this morning
more drinkers
one talker
plus a few
listeners
saying
“yair”
or
“too right”
every few sentences
the talker says
how he gets on
with the aboriginals
’cause he’s spiritual too
y’know
if he puts his jumper on
backwards
it stays that way
all day
