so you think you can tell
heaven from hell?
do you believe in the big man
and his plan?
the naughty corner
the fun room?
I have always maintained that if you dont believe
you are free to spend the afterlife
in the room that you choose.
and where would that room be?
I'm halfway through
my life , my holiday, my day.
pick a time frame.
used up all my brain cells, half my liver and half my serotonin.
but the funny thing is there's always more.
and if i really think about it
its all temporal the problem we have.
wait and the universe provides.
except you dont want to be greedy.
and there's the rub.
humans are greedy.
they cant help it.
look at the resort crowd, hanging round the pool
eating endless chips and drinking beer like the slabs are going to run out
fat slumping over their generous swimming trunks.
and its strangely never enough.
time is the great leveller.
drink too much and your days become daze
eat too much and your clothes try and fail to restrain you.
play too many computer games and reality ceases to exist for you.
indiscriminate and brutal in a pleasant car crash sort of way.
Ive been to frazer seven times
each as beautiful as the last
this time with my own boy who is 8
the same age I was the first time
and i still love it
each time as beautiful as the last
each time different yet the same.
the only difference is the amount of XXXX
and the australian flag.
ironically ignorant in their large wheeled V8
fishing rod festooned all terrain vehicles
going to places with black names and twenty thousand year old heritages
and with tattoos of the southern cross splayed across their sunburnt backs
when did the flag become a symbol of ignorance
and bigotry?
when did people start on the cans of bundy and cola at 9am?
or perhaps its just me paying too much attention.
holidays love em!
