Postman John- not Pat (18.11.38)

You didn't have a black n white cat or a red van
YOU are australian...
The relative of a FREEMAN who walked from house to house to deliver the mail with his trolley not behind but proudly in front.
Now there are no more personal deliveries
Your kindness and jolly behaviour has gone to rest.
But the infatuated feelings you had with bonfires,aliens and books over cups of teas in Sydenham became alight in my mind. You were not a pyromaniac but a controlled soul of the inner fire.. always respondent to a need for discovery, a discovery we also found.
you delivered.
