Short (April)

Outside short Brunswick Street shopfronts locals make short work of cigarettes. A tramload of short views glides by. Café woman in short top meets man who’d better like short tops. A short-film director drops names into his short black. Short dog meanders between angled wheels and gutter. Balwyn couples look from short car windows for a restaurant carpark short space. Short badges sparkle over loominescent murals. Armadale moonlighters pamper stomachs then poison livers in short order. April saves daylight in a short vase of everlastings. Short sentences will meet, shelved and nice, in the lavish bookstore at an outrageous price.
