Humming fluro lights in cancerous concrete underground bunker. Footsteps smash off walls in infinite loops like the particles that are traveling around and around on this infinite loop before they are released to smash into some piece of antiquarian looking measurement device akin to a wind up clock in a glass case. The air is [...]

At the major league bookstore there are rows of shelves devoted to magazines, each one a confessional for the connoisseur and their chosen area of expertise. They sit on the benches and their eyes confess to the flimsy pages and stiff covers. The magazines are reading them the commandments of current fashion in whatever discipline [...]

Reaching around the side of the seat, hand running over the hard plastic shell and terraforming over the seat release I find it,the petrol cap release. A tug makes a small clunk emit from the left hand side of the car. Opening the door to a surge of traffic noise from Punt road as cars [...]

Clothes hanging on bat like hangars, empty and devoid as if Dracula had come by and sucked all the life out of them. Haunting ghosts in the darkened cave of the wardrobe. The darkness filled with all the action of yesterday, the aura of action surrounds each piece of clothing. The checked flannelet shirt that [...]

The day of rest, Sunday is holy, it feels like the fabric of time is being pulled apart piece by piece and the weave of the cloth is swaying in a gentle breeze.
There’s Sunday morning breakfasts of bacon and eggs and fancy sweet croissants in Acland street, where the trams rumble along at 5 miles [...]

A mosaic of burnt orange tiles leads to a small step and a covering of Lillydale topping. Twisting vines intersect with friendly branches of the trees from next door which lounge over our fence and obscure the barbecue, covered in its winter shawl at this moment.
I place the bacon egg and mushroom breakfast on the [...]

Holding stiff tiles in hand with the secret code written onboard. Questions are thrown from the podium and caught by contestants like they were a life raft. Buzzers plunge and klaxons fill the air. The desk echoing with ferocity. Answers blurted out, vomited in the excitement of the moment. The other team being given an [...]

Sandstone facade with Dorian fluted columns aspiring to knowledge. Surrounded by heavy red London busses and a rudeness of traffic noise and pollution. Entering through a wide marbled doorway onto gigantic open space with a fosillised skeleton of a plesiosaur or a diplodon or some sort of dinosaur. Held rigid and frozen in its moment [...]

The local mini mart, fluorescent lights burning like a flying saucer or a lighthouse at the top of a hill, deterring thieves no doubt. Walking through aisles bunched together like sprinters waiting on the starting blocks, specials call out to me, reductions, SALE. Of course the prices are over-inflated to begin with, so they’re actually [...]

In the middle of the night all things become still, the occasional passing of a motor exhaust, the scrabbling of a possum across a dry tin roof. Out in the street streetlights are surrounded by halos in the fog, but stand as beacons when the clouds are gone. The air is chilly and prickling my [...]
