Ode to Schapelle

Oh, Schapelle, I love you

With your bright blue eyes

And your ambiguity

Innocence. Guilt.

Your cage of freedom

A catherine wheel spinning Sympathy and contempt

We came for you

With cameras on poles

Your head on a spike

And you played us for chumps

Well done

Instagram heaven awaits

Laneways of roses and potato chips I even like it that the dogs you left Were so ugly
