on a lighter note on abrighter note. on a less of a rant

walking through the hills from a last bus of ten pm, the moon up there and then some of it on the bitumen, spilling out like something shiny escaping to the floor. there are quiet birds which make sounds like moans and there are still crickets, louder now for the lack of day noise, theres the occasional frog and as i walk by the long grass a rustle that at least i know cant be a snake. this place is a quiet conundrum, a sweet humdrum, hohum. theres a vapidity to its slowness but there is something more, a place is never justwhat itis, it is what you are. i am quiet and slow, a vapidity in my stride, i am quiet at 5pm on any given day butfriday. i stare at strangeness out of the corner of my one good eye. i like to wear whats comfy from 1989 and i take pleasure from days that are warm. theres good in me but it doesnt like to draw attention, the beautiful bits dont have public access, street life is frowned upon, if theres anything under 16 in me then it will risk arrest if it shows its face after 10pm. i am serious when itcomes to order, maintenance of quietand the idea that others are never quite as clean as me, as warm as me, as innocent as me. oh perth

dumb white kids

we got it easy. some of us all of us most of us. those of us who are not remote, those of us who are not on temporary visas those of us not asking for asylum those of us not confronted with mental illness. we of the three meals a day. we of the public education we of the healthcare we of the parents we of the children we of the prospects we of the disposable income. i am proud to be unaustralian, i am proud to tell you that i am not spoken for by the elected representatives i have the power to tell anyone who will listen that you do not speak for me. the flag i wrap around me is flaming, the landwe are in is stolen we know i know where i came from and i atleast know where i am going. to the shop to get my legs waxed because there is 1/10th of my personality which succumbs to such things, im not ashamed im not assured. im not australian, im not represented by my geographical specificity, human, of the variety free to move, passport granted mobility assured one day i will build my fortress and keep the mutherfuckers out till then all these dumb racist shits have taught me is that what im doing at uni is more than ever necessary, dumb white kids need some education, culturally plural education, inclusivity, respect.
