Rum & Raison

 

Rum & Raison

 

A mystic meets someone

Who doesn’t know THEY are too

Who doesn't know THEMSELVES

 

She has a cynic for an ‘identical twin’ sister


Now I’ve got no issue with Geminis

Everyone is crazy these days

 

You’re just not allowed to start hitting out at me

Coz ur drunk & high

& got nothing better to do

Or coz I don't make a move on 28 year olds, I'm 54 man!

Or coz you don’t know urself

 

But of course she does hit out

Filled with shadows, she boxes & hits hard

There's only so many times I can diffuse things by making her laugh

 

As for the spectators

People are deaf these days

& stupid

No in-built bullshit detector

Relying on one's phone to make major life decisions


They half hear a stray word they think they know

Make inferences that delight & reinforce their cynicism

An older man & a younger woman

Talking

 

But how much can any of us really SEE?!

 

Can a cynic’s innocent twin sister

See the nose on her face?

 

Can twins ever truly be friends with a mystic?

 

Or with themselves?


Or with anyone, see?

 

Or even with an ‘uncle’

When as a child

They’ve witnessed their blood uncles

Rape their identical twin?

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 ...
