Back in business, in tycoon form
touting like a hustler for what
the day may bring: bring noise bring
heat bring dust and it smells
like the street (my private property my
Wall Street, my bonanza)
bought and sold, selling now
on competitive terms: my sharp
my shop-worn challenge
on a day like today, on my street
feeling strong: feel cunning (lazy malice)
and sly: feel like laughing –
wanna rip somebody off

Australian-born, with English mother, has lived in several Australian cities and in London. Travelled widely. Way way back when, published widely as a poet and short story writer. For the first 20 years of my working life I worked as an entertainment journalist, publicist, PR consultant and in advertising and media agencies. In the second 20 years, I worked in marketing roles at non-profit organisations then retrained as a teacher, primarily teaching English to non-English speaking, newly-arrived refugees. Also did miserable McJobs, and a long, happy stint at an art gallery.
