of a noun repeat, perfume is the perfect presentgemini
on the equinox your suspicions will be confirmed
at noon avoid obsessing about things you can’t change
like shade diagrams recharge your batteries
solar resources surge into a surfeit
by the summer equinox meanwhile what you save
on sunscreen spend on champagne–coloured lingeriecancer
these short days beware of discounted plunder
& maxed plastic smart crabs head for sunny noosa
to avoid the sales checking windshield wipers,
tyre pressure, oil & water–
or getting someone else to do it for you–
will bring unexpected & consummate mileageleo
beware of bosses & bossiness—
playing the chemistry scales
is its own accompaniment.
weigh up human factors
lay in garlic & sprigs of rosemary
the lion may lie down with the lambvirgo
your heart says try circumnavigation
your head says tarry with ways to land
a new job one that pays a new psychic
season rolls around like a randy ginger cat
cool you purrs off the cat, researches positions
at academies of the paranormallibra
the azaleas and hyundais come and go
no time for a toy boy or a gigilo
young venus creeps into old mars’ pocket

possible alignment of salty kisses by christmassagittarius
droopy executive socks stunting your love career?
a celestial gridlock provides an opportunity
to hitch your hosiery wagon to romance
drop in at the new south wales art gallery
conversation socks for inarticulate loverscapricorn
everyone is needy but you needn’t spend another
christmas lounging at home with twinkie
or travelling with your long term companion,
the pacific highway pick up your mobile
punch in the number of that one-armed
bootmaker fall hell for leather under one anotherpisces
stuck in a relationship with pre-folded corners?
not sure if you want to be tempted at tempe or
access remote ordering & payment services?
not sure if you are ready for nymph / elf shaped pasta
or if you should stick with comfy rustproof aluminium?
achieve a look you’ll love you have an irresistible offer
don’t indulge in flat-pack ambivalence
