CHI 66 TOR 81
It’s crazy to me
That Bairstow and Longley are friends.
What are the chances?
Now, I’ve never been to Australia,
But I imagine it bigger than that.
It is a
CONTINENT
After all--
Not a neighborhood.
Are all the tallest people
In this country
Forced,
By some all-powerful basketball zealot (Basketball Dundee),
Into skill camps
Behind locked gymnasium doors--
Waiting for Rodman’s visit?
Olympic village
Now a prison workshop
That makes baskets.
Or maybe Luc is
Like Hakeem or Luol?
Culture hero--
Mate to the entire nation.
The builder of hospitals
And ambassador to the world.
The earnest voice that
Delivers the fireside chat.
And wishes the rest of us
G’day.
