Hablett Park

A distant playground guards my childhood
Two iron swingsets and a jungle gym
All we needed for an empire endless
A stadium, an audience of eucalyptus
Cricket pitch and wheelie conference
Skinned knees compared over smuggled Kool-Aid
Aussies, Yanks; it didn't matter
The sun shone hard on all of us.
