On a family road trip
my teenage sister
kindly deigned to
entertain
her prepubescent
tasmanic brother
(me)
over protracted hours
she slipped her socks
and bared her feet
to puppet-like
introduce Left & Right
squeaky voiced friends
with whom I cackled
and conspired
until some hours later
my patient sibling
tired of the game
and retreated
behind her Discman
and Tina Turner's
Greatest Hits.
