Before I went to the job interview

 

Before I went to the job interview

An Aboriginal painting told me

Whatever you do, don’t work 5 days a week

It invited me to think…

To be open to journeys.

 

I’m such a conservative

I still haven’t been on my Australian adventure

“Because I need a travelling companion.”

 

But I need to be open to the

Spiritual journey of life

& not soaked in booze

& shutting down the spirit/spirits.

 

--

 

Then when I get home

In the 100 degree heat

& my pastel drawing of the praying mantis & butterfly

Takes me higher than the sugar clouds

 

I skydive drop

From higher up

& I’m a freak remade:

 

Drive around Australia coward!

You’ll be dead & you will

Have seen too little

Though you feel as if you’ve seen too much.
