#133 ‘Heart’
They tried to
listen to their hearts.
They tried to
reason with their souls.
They tried to
tie the laces of new boots.
They tried to
line up like a nest of ants.
They tried to
read a sentence on the art of damper.
They tried on the
yellow boots that fitted perfectly.
They tried to
kick a yellow football into the blue.
They tried to be
defiant and obedient at once.
They tried to
understand the psyche of the Bunyip.
They tried to
run around the building once for fun.
They tried to
dance the dance they’d seen on television.
They tried to
wash their dishes without cleaning them.
They tried to
listen to their hearts on their wrists.
They tried to
whisper to their silent souls.
They tried to
knot a knot in their yellow laces.
They tried to
stand in a line like Bunyips at a barbecue.
They tried to do
it running, then running backwards.
They tried to
get the day to go their way for once.
