ASHOK GUPTA
Rubber Slippers			

I would watch them go to school
in worn out clothes
some in rubber slippers
others barefoot
and tell myself
one day when I grow up
I will buy a truckful of slippers
and make a heap before them.

CAROLE NELSON PHILLIPS 
3 am 

It's so beige, darlin, 
everything's the colour 
of crepe bandages, 
vertical blinds 
hang over bars 
just liquorice straps 
of night can be seen 

nothing's shiny except 
the arched chrome tap, 
flower head bending 
in sorrow over the 
porcelain bowl 

the ward's quiet, 
I lie lonely 
with the taste 
of charcoal 
thinking of the distance 
between steel & rivers 
cathedrals & kowhai
