Cranes

Southbank, a neighbourhood in Melbourne

Waving arms around,
as a tantrum-throwing child,
humanoids in town.

Sidewalk sights

Sidewalk flowers, Melbourne

Pops up all around,
as teen’s pimples; sans the mess,
sign of nature’s change

Sidewalk sights

Melbourne sidewalks

Human vanity,
lining on a single file,
having felled giants.

Immovable asset

Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne

Invest in nature—
though money doesn’t grow on trees—
true happiness does.

Ultimate surviver

Graffiti, Melbourne alleyways

In the sticky smell
of an aerosol-smeared tyre
survives the painter.
