Daily therapy of the straw

Our Magna Carter shakes at its core

We are under the water and needing more

Straws for those who are under drowning

Wanting help to contend with the clowning

.

Rescuers become persecutors if allowed to burn

They feel the heat and go to sleep in their turn

Passing the buck to others on fire

Filo and salad kindly served our desire

.

There is not much rope and life lines few

Our aroma mixed with poison anew

And some of it sticks so we go to recoup

We need space to talk over a bowl of hot soup

.

Drinking flat white down with the leaf undisturbed

Sucking under and leaving the outer preserved

Sunken image a delicate sign of our state

Tuscan beans are very broad on the plate

.

Dripping lemon juice over crusty bread

Buying a book and enjoying the spread

Watching hanging birds in clear glass frames

A Sleeping Brolga and flying Ibis amongst other names

.

A hanging Honey Sucker too expensive for us

We buy recipes and healing scripts as such

Ways to wash revenge that seems to stay

We draw this straw of breath today
