in high places, corporate suits   play  
around with end of month invoices

you watch a giant Ferris wheel circle the Docklands
and say life could be cursed or    blessed

Illawarra plums turn to jam
blood oranges pile up on the Welcome mat

does it all come down to fruit and kindness
random acts and strangers    in high places

leather recliners overlook Melbourne's skyline
Jewel sings about heart-ache that visits each

and every day, kindness     flirts
you sip on coffee and Kahlua from cactus-engraved shot glasses

she strikes out double digits with a single key press
the carriages dangle, a blue pointy star lights up

bodies teeter     suspended,
as the carnival goes on, way beyond horizons

at the end of the day
you won't steal my laughter
music still plays

at the end of the day
I watch lightness
dance
in the sky
