Come and see the incredible disappearing man:

once king of shoulder flips in neighbour’s pools,

backyard slayer of middle stumps and myna birds,

man of many dog disciples, leashless leader,

stick collector, dashboard drummer of travelling

highway shows, pancake flipper, tyre pumper,

lord of lowtide skimming stones,

speedos sporter, weeding warrior,

watch him: standing in the yard,

hand to hose, hose to sun,

the thin blue stream

evaporating before

your very

eyes.
