#1958 - 1958 - the year that made me

 



1958

6.132

12.v.25

1958 – year that made me

 

it must have been April – a breeding month

as conjugal as all the year

 

those sly old foxing folk – mum, dad

you don’t want to go there

 

television preceded me

walkabout bandstand

 

year of the 5th Republic

Ming merciless as ever

 

the queen mother comes out

 

Mosman Bay views while I gestate

 

the Yanks lose a hydrogen bomb off the coast of Georgia

and never find it again

Bertie Russell launches CND

 

Notting Hill Riots

worldwide, more passengers by air than sea

 

India goes metric

The Australian Legend

 

Sputnik 1 burns up

 

Ike broadcasts to the globe from space
