opposite a pub
near a highway
stands
man in kind
a nailed hat
a sneeze with no body
to bless it
man in waiting
lanes of petroleum fumes
brewery breath hangover
bottles clash
knuckles scheme
glass reflects generation vroom vroom
man in kind
sharing genetically modified
rye with pig heart gene
across salt pans of extinction
a man in waiting / a pigeon hole
a zero stencilled on his back
white shirts
golf carts
rugs in hand
man in kind
during a long hazy stretch of road
eating kingaroy peanuts
the choice is beyond genetics
but what is it?
machines stamp
cars out of computer maps
and opposite the pub
thick petroleum smoke suffocates
and men lift manly things (or things that make them look manly)
out of their boots
neat nets
last hail
in a storm of opinions
man in waiting | man in kind
