rubber tarmac fight
blue smoke stink
hairpin
a bunch of yaaaaaarhs
gaaaaaaaaarns getfuckeds
stiff arms waving
from the blur
with the glint of beer colour
glass cracking toast
cracksmashtinkle
yaaaaaaaarh
aaaaaaaaaarh she skids a thud
yella glass sprays
into the bush gasping
eastern greys pogo out
of scribbly gums
shade thin as sticks
amber ooze
cracking tree
phalanger turns
head tucked
black noon
cicadas with your
cluster eyes
drummer
green stick pin singin
wild chorus in the canopy
of flowering mountain ash
glass spawn
glints from rock
it split its head
open the thick
jagged lip
sizzles with light

the sound of this poem crackles in my head Jen... that blast verse is stunning.
That is brilliant. I have searched the wide world web for video of you reading your sizzling poems, Jen Jewel Brown, but to no avail. I shall just have to find a way to experience what must an extraordinary phenomenon in person.
Thank you so much. Graham, see you soon in Melbourne for Overload Poetry Festival.
Paul, I will endeavor to film myself and see if I can somehow upload it, although I'm not very techsavvy on this. Anyone know how to upload vid to Blogger?
I am about to experimentally try to transport my absurdist footy blog Footy Freak News
http://justfortheaflofit.blogspot.com/
to Wordpress, although none of the styles impress. Clearly though, Another Lost Shark, Graham's pool, looks stunning. So maybe I just have to wrangle the customisation.
I don't know much about blogger but if you upload the video to youtube you will get an embedding code that lets you post the video.
Right! Thanks so much for that Paul, excellent. Meanwhile I have started a new blog on Wordpress that is just about footy, Footy Freak News
