the monoliterature machine (a poem)

by all means
hail christos tsiolkas
& nam le
bt these men did not
trailblaze for me

js like zadie smith
& monica ali
did not usher in the dawn
of a new british breed...

those of us
given stamps
to cross the border
fuel the monoliterature machine

i / am about to birth a daughter
& one day
she will learn to read

  1. Thanks Tina - I'm still not quite sure about this one myself. I reckon it might need either chopping or extending. Am going to mull over it for a while.
