Saint Johns, Waitara
Nobody told me
Newtown
so scruffy
unfriendly
Damn depressing
When I bought here
After I
basement flat Island Bay
for a year
Then it’s Labour weekend
Saint Johns Anglican church
Waitara
The place
bounces
with joy
enthusiasm
And love
There’s even a sax player
Then I sundown stare Taranaki edge
cotton bud clouds
elderly aeroplane home
