A DAY IN THE LIFE OF
 

Halfway down Lambton Quay
the Angel of Death nodded

snapped her cellphone shut
and turned into the shops.

When the ambulance arrived
she was already gone

sitting on a bench in Midland Park
across from the couriers

who ignored her completely
seeing she was over thirty.

She waved to a couple of alcs
on her way to the bus stop

and headed into Newtown for 
the afternoon
visiting at the hospital.
