Oz

final oceanic junk channel-deepened
	by temporal bo'sun of the universe
are you some castaway floating sea
	kelp island where dawning abendland 

in elysian fields of restfulness recon-
	structs her deadly breeding grounds?
or are you one of the gods sun ra
	maybe following the comet kohoutek?

are you in favour of daylight savings
	bonsai maintenance massive oil wars
or just some mosquitoes flying through
	the dredged & dying murray wetlands?

could you be an untapped source
	of poisons for travelling parasites
or are you still hiding that sneaky Y2K
	virus in your unpopped pimples?

see the ANZAC memorials to the rest
	of the earth's extinct flora & fauna
that within your vast circumference
	kick against the pricks & crash down

or else act like cruel coat hangers
	& behead those riding underneath trees
blending superstition with the brave
	recommendations of commissioners

to brand that theoretical spot in our
	atmosphere with an unequivocal X -
the innocent & pacified collaborators
	who coaxed the flies into your mouth
