“What was”

What was the rest of the world doing unknowing?

We met again, this time two bashful 15 year

Olds, smiling, who met in Dandenong’s ghetto

A comet, young love struck us, in the midst of middle

Age. As the impact reverberates, I wonder what

Became of time and space. Clouds arise and

Follow the ranges in upheaval, and the trees follow

And the birds follow the cars. They shatter

In time and space: all follow the wake of our love
