Australian Paper Tree, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @brianrss37 on Twitter)
Jiffy Pop white inside
Scrimshaw coffee scratches outside
Peeling like the flaky croissant
Standing on it’s side
Are you the player
In Premiere League soccer
Who slides across the feild on knees
Tearing off your brown white jersey
Rigid albino python upwards
Medusa’s sprawling dew upstairs
One more layer deeper
Marrow from a fractured femur
But you are not dead
It’s just that you shed
Swinging on the stripper pole
With burlesque in the carpark’s toll
Are you that flasher
On the New York Street
As Cagney and Lacey walk by
Not impressed in the least
I’ve never seen
A tree like you
But by all means
Keep doing what you do.

Ellie, I cannot see this at front page of my blog, I am wondering why you saw it, because it was a finally published draft from months ago, but should show up on the top page, but is not.
