Michael Farrell
Sobering
The painting cried when anyone looked at it by anyone
I mean the weak. Types that frequent
Mimosa museum in, the first, place another name for
Wattle as the dame would say the. Skin wobbling under her chin.
An abstract-too and not a good one it,
Didnt look, like not anything through the window you can
See the historians drying out they think, it much more daring I’n;
Th’e face of fresh, fleshed undergrads, to skewer rather than.
Embrace & most undergrads being. Incredibly wimpy & in a state
Where any manifestation, of differentiation from their unhistorian like parents seems
Like the beast they, want to, lie with this
Thinking is rarely challenged – quoting mysti’cs is one thi’ng misty eyedness.
Beats its own A student bedding ratio 3 1 these-are
The sorts of-things i think about when-driving the truck,
Which i mean to quit doing the moment the,
Voice tells me its time my main source is the opaque times For.
Instance statistics on lavacide sales, wombat population figures &,
The number of unavoidable holes on stock bearing property id cry too!
Imagine having half your body removed & some trained staff member telling yo’u not,
To’ give me the chance of digging bores in south Africa Id.

Charges the library with a yellow umbrella i volunteer to
Care you can go crazy.
