On The Runs



Hail! Adelaide's rash
of fast refuellers
of fast 20s,
30s and
ingenious 40 pluses;
facilitators
of the busyness
of those categories,
of their enjoyment
of competition,
of their avoidance
or retardation
of burn-out, and
of their punching above their station
in helping Australian democracy's perpetuation.
