Crazy Daisy, chews a lazy piece of grass, lying on her back in the meadow, ankle resting on her knee, triangle frame of her fella.

He’s been sweating away half a day, rubbing sticks to make fire. He swears he’s managed it before, she just laughs and says, “Max, you’re such a liar.”

Her giggles are echoed by the trickling sound of the stream. She closes her eyes, and sinks into a dream.

Mad Max sees his chance, reaches close for her matches.

But seeing her lying there in the sun so peaceful, he lies down next to her, and breaths her smell, and watches.

Hunger is a hole Fear is a void Pleasure is a flood Boredom is a chance Anger is a rush Peace is filled with love Pain is bittersweet Comparison breeds hate Hate is not real Thought is not water Time is tension Tightening over time A noose where hangs ideas Emotion is wild We are spirit Spirit soul soul god god life We are scared Scared is not of time Scared is not thought Scared is us And so is love Scared is fleeting love is constant Breathe, touch, feel, hear, see, smell You are real Complex yet deep down simple A flooded void of opportunity A bird on a wire Water, earth Accept Greed is fear Accept

Insomniacs and vampires

Hey my night listeners Workers of the neon strips Insomniacs and vampires Dark souls, pillow-phobes Are you sadhappy tonight? Aren't you sadhappy always? Give us a call, or just listen in Caller on 4, let us begin You're through to Kilian on WKLNVR What's on your sunsetmind caller?

That song, sadhappy, slit slit Lately I been reading a bit There's science that is quantum see I see my friend, we are intrigued

At any moment stuff exists In something like a timestasis Until it is observed and then It's state is known, praise God, Amen

Like God you mean, well maybe Kil But I got thinking redblue pill If this is true, if this is real Then I do not know how I feel

At any given place in time I could be low I could be high But if it is a choice I have Then I just need to smile and laught

You dig me Kil, you see I mean? I think so caller, this is deep I know right, so excited I If we are quantum, we can fly!

At any moment in my day I stop and choose be unafraid The way I see it's up to me I stand and look, I do not flee

I thought I had to live with fear But look and see right now right here The universal human state We can choose love instead of hate

By choosing to be unafraid By looking at that quantum glade Of sunshine in our forest mind We choose the path of gentlekind

I know the problems we all face Are universal to our race We act in anger I declare Because we all so fucking scared

But Holy God Amen Amen I'm realising now that when I feel that fear arise in me I am not trapped no I am free

To choose to look the other way Observe the path that leads away To peace and love and actions kind I clearly see where once I blind

Well what a start to the show tonight I'm thinking that you may be right Quantum cats - alive are we On the path of happy destiny

This Day

Fresh, crisp, like lettuce is this day The afternoon as golden as sun warmed hay Sun sets, on florid happy cheeks, tired from smiling Night is black like death and welcomed home, welcomed home Night is black like death and welcomed home

We turned right at the Australian Men’s Shed Association and walked down to the corner of the cemetery and up the hill past the brown cathedral and galloped up in pairs like horses and carriages until our chests pounded and our noses were cold from the cold air. Here was a street called Wolfe Street which reminded me of The Wolf of Wall Street, we made jokes. Past the park where students lounged and up to the obelisk where the lady had stood and over the ANZAC bridge past Spark, Sparke and Dale, whale watching and thinking of home and warmth.

Sunday

So we then followed Mo in our car to this beach to kayak and she was great and we photo’d it all with pride and she oversteered a little just as she said she does and Hani was tracking her course and she mastered the thin gravel track, with traffic, and parked within 0.00001mm of Sarah’s car. So funny. Great finish, it was a tough parking job with a small cliff into the sea infront of her. Still funny, the video should be fun.

Also on the radio was a story about, (or maybe it was the Aussie Guardian), about a man who’d asked for someone to remove his left testicle in a motel room. I think this might be another me, like the madman in the shelter, the parallel outcomes. All possibilities are converging here, and the Chinese know, and Dmitry knows, and the girl on the cliff knew.

Australia is upside down, the days start cold and end hot. So warm on this beach with kookaburras and the endless waves. A mast floats along the jetty wall and we wait to see the boat. Look up to the car park and giggle about mo’s parking, analyse storm erosion, squint to silhouettes of boys in boats, out of boats. Talkin’ ‘bout stuff and swingin’ on a tyre, paddling and scratching in the sand with a snappy little dry twig.

We weren’t expecting it to be so nice, this is great. What’s the perfect word for this kind of greatness? Not ‘awesome’, it’s overused, maybe ‘nice’?, too nice. It is chilled but that reminds you it has been very chilly. Two birds fly low over the water and the endless waves and the sun greys and cools. Sand in my socks. Why is Hani afraid of water, a biplane buzzes by as the sun comes out.

Dmitry was a nerd, he’d read Crime & Punishment and decided Raskolnikov was his all time hero and all his passwords were Rask01niko<. Unbreakable, his favourite part was the inequality sign. From the plane he saw the sun reflect in a line right up to the figure on the beach writing and the girl picking at sand with dry little snappy twigs.

Brutality a beautiful backdrop Noise upon noise upon beautiful songs Man made. Meandering. Not flowing. Concrete like mould, spreading porous spores so more and more brutality rises, and nature shrugs No such thing as silent progress Ownership absurd yet Here they keep birds in cages to sing and look beautiful in a brutal gaol To remind themselves, perhaps Of our own situation Let Me Out! Set Me Free! I can see the beauty beyond the bars of brutality Let Me Be! let me be

Their place

They came to a lake Surrounded by trees Lay down on the grassy bank Felt for the breeze

It rippled the lake It rustled the leaves It stroked their skin Became them when they breathed

After a while They undressed and bathed The water was cold To keep warm they played

As evening rose They built up a fire In the grass by the lake that Reflected the sky

The lake was not real Just a place in their mind Where when things got too much They came to unwind

Maybe you have a lake Or a mountain or glade A place of your own Where you come to escape

They stood by the embers They walked to the trees It doesn't have to be real You just have to believe

In my Instagram bubble I find I'm bombarded With stories that come down to greed Worshipping profit Arguing cleverly Who's right/wrong What does it mean?

To live life the right way To live for each other It does not come naturally Our fear of the other You must have a pension Will we ever be free?

Who are these people? Who gave them the right To own so much property It just shouldn't matter How much you have got We all die eventually

We're all a fucked up shell Around a perfect seed We need to break that shell And after we are free We reach for sun and soil And found our purpose here As to the earth we join Our egos disappear

Lying on their back They pass the needle through the starry holes above Stitch the black fabric Sew sirius to canopus They wont sleep until At least the larger holes are fixed Moth holes in God's wardrobe Musty heaven They knot and snip Then sew vega to their lip Passing the needle from the outside in The thread tickling as it glides Through the moist, textured flesh A little tug, and a nod to Vincent Swirling, whirling, we happy? They feel so big They feel so small Giant of the night closing the night sky holes Comfort of blackness craved Twinkle twinkle, needle, sky On their back they lie and sigh Enclosed connected, distant high

Provoke gut throat

Worn softshaped cracked shoes Stained from heat of feet Coffee when digesting, just the thought Small holes, of course

Teeth coated with yellow, peeling Peeling, decay, age decay Fakeness, agreeing without thinking Thinking without thought Thought without love Wealth, cockroaches, maggots in flesh, dead flesh, meet, feet with bent, curved nails

Foolishness- my own Shit - other peoples' Violence - a powerful impact to the skull - crushed skull Nature is beautiful though Beautiful

How are you?

Everything and nothing

Ralaxed, hopeful, anxious Lonely, which is good and bad Young, old, healthy, weak Trying to see if, in the flickering shadows of leaves on the ground, there is a pattern, a message to explain why greedy people have so much power why hate and fear are overpowering peace and love Looking at nature in awe Looking at the world in sadness Wishing, wishing everyone could just 'get it' without any need to explain because words.....

But I know why because i hate and fear and need and want all the time Because I am everything

How are you? Fuck! Sorry, you did ask

eat the plants

bruv, eat the plants, its calm

let the cows grow old on the farm

to other beings do you no harm

wake up to this peaceful alarm

the world takin' steps to the brink

stop and think bruv, stop, breathe and think

if we're killing to eat there's a link

a violence we're holding within

its hard to make changes for sure

we dont want to think anymore

than we have to, but please I implore

take stock, look around, what's the score?

we're fighting on so many fronts

our leaders are powerfed cunts

the poor and the weak bear the brunt

while the lords of the dollar go hunt

like aristocrats of our greed

they have so much more than they need

in your heart bruv i know you've the seed

find your peace, no more blood bruv, i plead
