Early February casual gig doldrums, late-morning 
Western reverie as raindrops turn rivulets 
trickling trickle-down economics 
on the pane 

Thought it was Josey Wales who said it
in The Outlaw Josey Wales

gotta eat same as worms.” He said: 
“Dying ain’t much of 
a livin, boy”—

It was John Vernon, said: “Don’t piss 
down my back & tell me
it’s raining”—




Cameron Lowe lives in Geelong, Victoria. His two book-length collections of poetry 
are Porch Music (Whitmore Press, 2010) and Circle Work (Puncher & Wattmann, 2013).
