Carry me daddy
Carry me on your shoulders
In your arms
Carry me
And you carried me and I carried you and
Footprints in the sand
Along the Canterbury Bight
And there 19
51 you buried beer
Pines Beach
Jim and Colin and Ish
And there 19
81 I hassled bouncers
North Brighton Surf Club
Took acid
And paddled
Lizard and Ian and Tips
And you?
Christ knows
Footprints in the sand
Deep here
Carry me daddy
Bruce Curtis
Bruce Curtis was born in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1961. Bobby Darin’s version of ‘You must have been a beautiful baby’ was number one the week he was born. Great things followed from this auspicious start. He works as a sociologist at The University of Auckland. He is married to Cate. He strives to be loving and laconic in his poetry. He wishes he had started thirty years ago; he would be so much better now.
