Political Correctness

 

Political Correctness


I’m really in several heaps of sugar

This way!

How to break open the gates of the pub

& let the cows out

There’s been a severe storm in there

Plenty of eggs for the pavlova

But who to milk the credit card for all its chickens

I don’t belong on this farm

I belong to the mountain

& its not what I’m talking about

It’s not my preoccupation

That is my summersault opening

In the rinse

My whites & reds came out aubergine

& I’m obsessed with it

Now that the gallaghs are finally competing on an unequal footing

& the mind is in different boxes

Polyrhythmic

& I won’t let it out

Because as Plato announced

It is a little devil like wind up chattering teeth

So best be gagged

Because the audience can’t be entrusted with complexity

Best to stir in plenty of sugar

& forget me plentys

Sequin pants & a showgirl dance

The flesh trumps the tail

There is too much treasure for man not to turn into base metal

I shall bleed with decorum

At home & in secret

Men do the manly thing here & buy a shotgun.

Win ugly

  Win ugly I win ugly for some bloody reason I win ugly Life’s like footy Playin into the wind Some days you act like you wish it was over Some days you get the word from the coach & you take it in your stride Though you know ur only D grade Who thought you could play ruck rover & play a ruddy blinder Who thought you had it in ya? Not even ur mother Where did that come from? For you to walk like a king who knew you could sing? About pawning ur weddin ring When ur alone You ain’t nothin but alone Just don’t scam yourself Though u can’t get any help Yes I win ugly I like it in the wet Like a 10 year old boy Drawing with a stick in the dirt Go in hard & you don’t get hurt But a wise man once scribbled The hard is overcome by the soft Like stone in water Like watching a child’s first steps One day in the sun Feelin so privileged to have been there How’d you get so lucky? Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Worth the price of admission To this valley of tears Coz every now ...

  In short, sharing versus selfishness   I have heard about The Yolngu people & gasped & sighed & dreamed & with my kite Tacked with & against the wind; Here in Dja Dja Wurrung country, Returning, Solitude for the Yolngu people Is prohibited It’s reason of ‘sorcery’ Offered Pride & closed heartedness Stunting & ending wisdom Without love, So much the better is Living communally on Country, The sounds of Nature: Birds animals water frogs Wind trees & bushes Yarnin & laughter: Relaxed, Part OF country, Not straining adrift to Examine & stand apart, & so, I write here Amongst friends, The sounds of The sitting room Food prepared, The birds the frogs A rabbit to be Air rifle shot & eaten People walkin & talkin & A sneeze The click tick Of finished oyster shells In the fireplace Chewing noises Pottery, Life in good Company Cooperation ...
