bondi

Funny place

That one by the beach

Where the water is pink

And every evening,

Windswept,

The sun kisses at

Crests

Of summit surf.

 

Waves that have

Tasted blood spilt

For fun and patriotic pain.

White face

And sand

And green and gold

And blue, red, and white

Bruised fight

Each dollar spent,

Sins repent

We were born here

**** off y’all

And don’t come back now

Y’hear

Ya ****** queer.

No one welcome

Eyes avert

Man

And woman

And seagulls

Picking and screaming

At the debris

Of society.

You’re free

To **** off now

Y’hear.
