mumble grumble bumble this is the poem I will be performing (against my will) next week at a Poetry/Theatre night that I have been roped into. My name is Victoria but I am Melbourne. I am hot sticky nights I am the rickety tram that rattles and clangs I am the markets of diversity I am the tempermental temperature I am public transport and kebabs I am football in the rain I am the historic buildings and modern structures I am romance that blossoms under the clocks at Flinders St I am the wind that lifts the leaves and rubbish I am the street corner evangelist and steaming coffee I am the bright lights of the Arts Centre spire I am the casino corruption I am late night parking and pigeons I am the mighty Yarra my murky waters run deep I am the street performer with chalk and mime I am the noise and the bustle I am my city. My name is Victoria but I am Melbourne.
I am dreading getting up on stage to read this out, and to add to the pressure I've just found out that I'm closing with this poem. I am officially spazzing.

its nice when people like what you have to say
hahah , did anyone see that episode of CSI last night when that guy from the 'robot wars' place made one of the robots kill one of the competitors in revenge for destroying his robot earlier in the show? it was cool only because at the end the crazy robot wielding murderer says ' do you know how it feels to imagine something in your mind free of contraint and ransform that into a physical entity, can you ever understand , no , children are not the same , i took a thought and created it PERFECTLY , you will never understand'
it was really quite freaky

Ok its been a while, but I wrote this the other day and I really like it so I thought I would share.
you swallow your shame like tears and she says there is no shame here and you should listen to her she's been down this road so many times She could have built the damn thing No shame shakes her shoulders naked and brown in golden light she sways with a certainity that life will get worse then better Keep breathing whispers in hypno voice she demands it No shame, no fear, just keep on breathing Open your eyes wake up
