a candid shot
of the military dictator
the burnt child
in his eyes

Proximity: the poet Jackson. Get uncomfortably close.
(Perth, Western Australia, August 2011)
under the cameras
of Forrest Place
on gapless grey stone
more desert than desert
food comes in plastic
or drips with full-fat heat
street entertainment
is sanctioned and amplified
I wanted a
naked lunch
no powerpoint
no permit
apple cheese fresh bread
cracked acoustic voice
