lost in space and time

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!
