That's The Case (For Gail) Poem by Douglas Scotney
That's The Case (For Gail)
...those horrible white sky days of Adelaide,
I hate them for their glare.
They never let the fumes take flight;
Remind me of an office where
The only light's fluorescent white.
Gail Jones, she comes, and sees, she says,
Such clouds as semen in the sky.
If that's the case, then, office workers,
Your light's the work of countless jerkers.
My hatred's gone a bit awry.
Note: Australian author, Gail Jones.
Great stuff when with each seeping homogenious day of every bl**dy year, we see the rich vernacular of language like an ephemeral lake just disappear.
