Strange old day today.
Woke up after a great night’s sleep.
Got ready to study,
Left the house.

Popped by the market on my way to study,
Bumped into friends.
Got a phone call,
Made plans for later with both caller and physical friends.
Bumped into acquaintences.
Further introduction.
Met up with friends pre-call.
Bought some women’s clothes.
Had fancy tea,
Thought critically towards my ideology of toilet logic.

Got quiet.
Felt angry.
Developed an anxious undertone.
“Moody”

Went home,
Burnt my mouth on soup,
Listened to Jodi Mitchell or someone with mum.
Played some cards,
Theorised over some poetry.

Burnt my mouth on corn.
Made a curry, burnt my mouth on curry.
Wrote down my ideas about Toilet Etiquette.

Eloise got me a ticket to a gig I really wanted to see.
She says I have to write an article for her, so sweet.
Went for a blitz around south hobart.
Ate some apples, looked at the bright lights.

ETTIQUETTE: Which ‘T’ is incorrect; the first, the second, the third of the fourth?

Tried a new fruit today. It was “floury”.
Also thought deeply about how people are ashamed of things.
Like spelling. Like speaking.
Practice, and don’t be ashamed.

Passed you by,
Those passing colours,
Mindset of why
Everything just blurs.

Head down,
A cough,
And frown
Sounds soft

Brains caged,
Wound uptight
Everyone’s aged
Foresight’s sigh.

The stressor
The reward,
Life’s short.
Cliche’s applaud.

(I wanted to delete below)
Painless death,
Death by sword.
Lessen my bored-OM.
Take a yoga class.

OM free me.
Take a bath
Relax in tee-tree.
By the hearth.

(blah, short attention span)

Ate alot of apples.
I worry that in my hear my thoughts can sometimes be grim.
Gotta surround myself with positive people,
Chill night in tonight.
I ate alot of apples.
She’ll be apples.

SHE.
Her.
Invite her round, see her.
Life’s too short.

Making plans, drinking tea. Relaxing.
My cousin is looking well, we went for a jog today.
I’m excited for MOFO.

Readin and relaxing at the moment.
I want to be passionate about poetry.

I will learn now.

Ta

Started my day,
Shorts on, little workout.
Out the door!

Damn thee legs month!
Tonight is the TSO, pumped.
Frost on the road. A bike riders nightmare.

I did not admire,
Cold sweats did I perspire.
Wished I be infront home’s fire.

Work was busy,
Breakfast skipped.
Then came lunch.

Caught up with Tilde,
From melbourne she came.
I double dipped,

Food food food.
Zany and wild,
Talk of Art and the toilet.

Then to buy a chook,
Where life then took-
A hazardous turn.

A turn for the worse.
Lisa’s husband diagnosed,
With cancer.

So I ate my chicken,
Pesto, red and green.
I thought what I should have said.

I thought of what could have been.
I dreamed of health.
Wealth spent on food o’ so lean.

I returned home,
Asked mum what did it all mean?
Mum is delicate,

She choked on her words,
Close to tears she said something
Incoherent, her eyes brimmed.

Tears welled up,
She rushed from the room.
Give peace, give love, give money.

I laughed at that.
Poor fragile soul,
She was cooked as my chook.

Now I sit, happy Buddha stomach,
Pensive, restless, anxious.
My afternoon missmatch,

The study plan out the door.
I saw Tilde,
And will see Elouise before night.

Will I be tired?
Have I wasted today?
Working and such, for minuscule pay.

Tonight I’ll run,
Run away like my day.
Today, like every single one-

Of yesterday’s days.
Fade and …

And thats it.

You start each moment anew.

Stop.

But you don’t stop, that’s impossible. You hurtle through moments. Each moment a landmine goes off. You start afresh.
You respawn. Each moment is influenced by the moment adjacent to it. The last instant I was writing, so now i’m still writing. My flow is the same beacause i’m on a roll. The snowball effect of the last instance, the weight of the moment rolling through, don’t contemplate! Don’t even think! Roll on, into the next and the next and the next and the next.

This moment. Fresh.

SPACES IN BETWEEN.

The taste in my mouth, the ache in my belly. Today’s newspaper, its relevance? Yesterdays snowball. To pick up and throw and whomever you please. To fall to the ground, scrape up your knees.

The alcohol consumed, riddles your brain. Later you think, that you wont feel the pain.

But it fills you up, not delt with, unchanged. Like a diaper of shit, the smears and the stains.

The road map you wrote,
the feelings you felt-
as you rushed from the room.

Your emotions they float.
reeling, I feel dirty with guilt.
To soon, too much to vast.

Were they fake?
Do I comfort? Are all my hugs used up?
Where is the pity, where is the help?

My stomach aches.
Yestermoment remorse.
I wish I was free of it

A happy divorce!
Unfortunately not so,
Be there a horse for this course?

Perhaps i’m talking shit,
What would I know about it.
The majesty and magic of a unicorn in need.

Alas i’m fumbling,
scrambling indeed.
Time to study,

Be learned,
Change who I am.
Become an adult.

Take myself seriously.
Build a cloak around myself.
Don’t be witnessed in the sand-pit.

Be an adult!
Choose and be occupied,
Clean up that shit.

Again i’d rather think,
nothing now’s connected.
The dots and my learning

Aren’t directly related.
Heirs of this.
And airs of that.

Wrap them about yourself
Crap on, like your bookshelf.
Measure your self worth.

Count your thing,
If you feel that it brings.
You back down to earth.

Fly on your swing.
Back, up and forward.
The moments in life aren’t related.

You’re just swinging.
Swing, swing, swinging your thing.
Heirs and airs are fated.

Pass on what you’ve seen
Now that you’ve mated.
Know where you’ve been

You’re here now, at the end
From where you’ve come.
Somehow, forward-

Somehow,
Pass on the the future.

Each moment, was now.

Lisa, I pray that your loved one survives cancer. Bad things happening to good people.
I covet my heart, lest it break. There is no justice. Rage against it or be at peace.
In our hearts and in our minds we pray.

Woke up early,
did my little exercise routine.
Had rockmelon,
Rode to work –
It was so cold tears streamed down my face.
Coffee machine was leaking.

11 o’clock I had a prac exam.
Zero study, just wanted to get my bearings.
Help me decide and all that.
Rode there, got it done.
Rode home,
Little exercise routine.
Studied, Ate, drank tea.
Went for a long jog.
Opened up my brain to hare-ing downhill.
What’s the worst that could happen.
Run, feel free.

Read over Drive’s seat,
Lay down for 10.
Went to work for 2 hours.
Then home to dinner.
I ate half a cake.
I disgust myself.
But my big brain was getting cloudy.
So food was needed

Awake at 5.30. Bed at 11.30.
What a day.

I worked,
Spent time with a girl,
I got her a book about being an atheist.  I can’t even spell the word.
We had coffee (I’ve had too much)
We talked deeply. I enjoy her company.
I felt strange, attracted yet distance.
Awkward but chatty. Comfortable yet aware of myself.
I lead her around town,
I grazed at woolworths a little,
We had free tea at T2.
I came home and studied. Bidding her a confident good day.
Tomorrow work calls again.
Jobs done for the day,
I went for a short jog to clear my head.
I visited my sister where we talked life.
Explaining that I think i’m crazy,
and that they too are crazy.

Dad’s word. Crazy.
He is a patient man.
Mum is crazy.
My brother, sensible, strange and sadly crazy.
My sister, crazed at times.

Odd.

I jumped into a strangers garden and picked 5 big green apples.
I ate them all on my way home.
Then I had tea.
Work tomorrow morning,
I sent texts to Declan and Kaito my two greatest friends.
I talked to Mitch recently, he looks well.

The world keeps on spinning,
I need rest to be admirable.
New sheets on the bed, costume for tomorrow is organised.
Practice exam might be a thing.
I will wear nice socks I think.

Jolly good.

The month of legs has started interestingly enough.
Started with an arms workout, work, coffee, getting caught int the rain and buying windscreen wipers.
I said to a stranger I didn’t have a girlfriend but if I did i’d buy her flowers.
It was received in a way that I dismissed, I wondered why i’d bothered speaking.
Work is good.
I had a bath tonight, and ate pumpkin soup. Early to bed.
I though it was Tuesday. But it’s monday.

Anyway. Exams, yay I have 1 more day than I thought I did. Haha.
So LEGS. This months obsession.
I will read google, wikipedia, anatomy, bone structure, focus, massage, moisurise, only wear shorts, exercise, get educated, show off and perve… On legs.
Stay tuned baby cows!

All the strange,
The weird and funny thoughts.
The effort we do and don’t take to pin them down.
We don’t surprise ourselves near enough.
Our student mentality, to write down our thoughts.

What we plan,
This ideas we tussle with,
That guide us through our days.

Our “needs”.
Small tasks, that just lay around until we complete them.
I need to change my bedsheets.
I’d like to ask out this girl.
I should eat less, demonstrate more control.
I could be smarter, I could easily study for this exam.
Bed! More sleep.
My nails need a trim.
I need to check that homebrew.
I need more shorts.
I should call centrelink.
Dentist aren’t cheap.
Maybe private health.
I should draw more.
I need to call Tim for his birthday.
What drugs do I need to buy this winter?
I want to go on an expedition, clear my head.
I need to make some plans,
Did I submit that English?
How can I help Kyia?
I need to watch some movie submissions.
I’d like to get some more sun.
I should check the gutters, its raining on the corrugated iron and it sounds great.
I wish I had more testosterone.
I feel like I’ve lost an edge.
Some of my friends don’t really put in that much effort.
I need to spend my time more wisely.
I should decorate my room.
I need to moisturise more.
Should I grow a beard?
My haircut is horrible.
That chocolate and vegemite isn’t that bad.
There are so many places in the world!
So many people and languages. Should I go to France? Would that be smart?
Travs birthday in a month, will I drink?
How is my home brew going now.
I need to drive more.
I need to do some situps.
I want to go to my one month of free yoga.
Books! Why aren’t I reading, I need to read more.
Game of Thrones has gone down the toilet.
I went to an old person’s house, they have no taste.
I looked at their shelves,
Reading some recipes for eggs.
Their ugly Australian children on the walls.
What’s wrong with me?
Judging.
I want a tarpaulin sleeping bag. Waterproof.
A car,
In Europe.
Care free
Chase the summer
Meet beautiful people,
Seem interesting.
Dig life more.
Think harder,
Deeper.

Work and test myself.
The hook nosed man, skinny, standing on an iced over lake.
The hole cut in the ice, a line thrown in.
Surviving off the land. Easy. Food is everywhere.
Shelter. A toothbrush. Fuel for the car. A passion.
Music. – should learn.
The cello is so, so beautiful.

The skinny man is a spy. He poisons the king.
Their wine, drip.. drip. The entire council killed.
The chase is on. He is canny, cunning and battle hardened.
Wiry, he was trusted. Picking his moment. He dashes.

I taste salt in my mouth. Chamomile, vanilla, blood.
Infusion.

Eggs, toasted rice crackers and cheese.
A jog.
Icecream in the rain
“PH-ish” Patrick Hall exhibition. (Amazing)

Talked to KJ.
got free icecream.
Talked to cousin Sam
Was highly motivated.
Planned on driving and seeing the football.
Plans changed.
Stayed home,
Ate a great lunch.

Kyia messaged me.
Exams soon.
Work timetable is big.

Had a shower,
My sister sticks her hair to the wall instead of letting it go down to fester in the plug grate. So it hangs there, defying gravity looking strange and disgusting. I dare not bring it up. I dare not care.

I thought for next months look I could wear yellow beanies and grow a neck beard.
That would be a laugh.
But I think i’ll focus next month on LEGS. Winter and the the puffy jacket.
Warmth is paramount, towards our surviving anyway; it is important.
So i’ll fight that. See if I get sick. See if I manage.
JUST SHORTS. Cut up some pants, focus on my legs and other people’s.

Today I went to the italian pantry in north hobart.
There was a blonde lady with a really great bum.
What do you say.
A funny ol’day.

Ate cashews.
Drank a lot of coffee.
Went for a walk and talk.
Stopped, listened at a Korean church.
Bought detergent.
Bought ginger beer at the end of the earth.
Saw a few beautiful girls.
Remained focussed on my hangout.
Talked about philosophy.
Saw a guy vomit in a bag and eat three cheeseburgers.

Etre Avoir. Was a documentary.
The snow.
I drove, my car needs new windscreen wiper blades.
And a service.
Laughter as an altered state.
Laugh and forget.
-The science behind this fact.
Group think.
Religions.
Watching other people,
Being a hypocrite.

Face, clothes, shoes game.
Ultra perception.
transport; bus and train
islands without deception.

Cold night.
Monday top of 8.
New month, new me.
yellow beanie
Neck beard.
Shorts ONLY?

Tomorrow plans; get it all done.
Dad leaves Sunday.
Triple heilux.
Cricket bat chat.

Young child memory.
Head through glass.
Locked my room,
with a dinosaur head.

How far I have come.
Fallen?
Stepped up.

Shame/
/ASHAMED

What I expected
Wasn’t what I got.

People walking out,
Rap. Conspiracy.
Murder, soda and tired.

A fat lesbian,
I sexy blonde, talking fluid.
A elderly man, describing his sex.
His wife a librarian,
Relations like a trap door,
Like shrapnel.

He painted himself in my mind,
Drinking wine, drawn to the spoken word.

I skyped Mitch, I was still tired.
Experiencing abdominal pains.
Tired.
I saw Emma, her poem was great.
I saw Hugo. He’s doing well.
Alex Lynch moved into their place.
Life. Continues
