a barometer is rising around the nation
after a cool start, it was a nice and fine day

a new fish disease is spreading
down the river

three tonnes of cannabis found
drying under the trees
on a remote farm

twenty five drunk drivers
caught in the town

little white balls are flying above
the paddocks, the game of golf,
the slide show

a defender suffered a broken cheek-
bone at the stadium, a goal, a goal,
a goal

from tbilisi right to our square,
the georgian state dance company
is promising an exhausting night

an alert: school holidays are on again,
kids are on the loose

IDs are double checked around the world
cross processions are starting to move,
slowly, steadily

hallelujah

an easter shower of blood
is storming fallujah

what’s that? the little one is unwrapping
the chocolate egg and staring at the screen
