national anthem tour
C is the key of Advance Australia Fair; B♭ the Quami Taranah, national song of Pakistan. One tone down. 'Tone it down' goes the saying when something apparently offensive is playing. By lowering the key you can lessen the offence.
If you were to move harmonically between Australia and Pakistan, what countries would you have to travel through? According to the key of their national anthem, here is your itinerary:
From Australia in C, travel to Bulgaria or Tajikistan in A minor, then choose any number of countries in F from Armenia to Western Sahara, then back to either Azerbaijan or Kazakhstan for a D minor dirge and on to Pakistan.
Hang on. Wikipedia says the Quami Taranah is in C♯, and Advance Aussie Whitey B♭. A tone and a half apart, a blues interval. Lift the tone should be the message, i.e.: Let's raise the bar!
Then again, as in jazz, any tune you can play in any key. In what key is the Australian national anthem of Norway? How hard I worked to make that flat symbol appear just so.
Notes:
What is a Camelot value? Harmonic mixing.
Why Camelot? Jacqui Kennedy, King Arthur, 2012 DJs.
The circle of fifths, or thirds from minor to major: Am - C - Em - G - Bm - D - F#m - A
Harmonic Key magazine, Florida
Q: What country appeals to history in its national anthem?
A: A new country.
The prelude to Adv Aus Fa shares the opening notes of Song of Australia, C1 F2 C1 A1 F1
I can pick out the tune automediatically.
Carl Linger and the Forty-Eighters...
"gometimes bewildering" said P Keating
and "T 0 Ob I T T f(' T !-A"
Who won between Pakistan and Australia?
Wahab Riaz a dit Geoff Lemon on-waxing for the ABC.
I wanted Pakistan to win
but they did not.

To harmonically travel between the national anthems of Australia and Pakistan via the Camelot circle of fifths one would need to search for anthems in the keys of Em G, Bm D, F♯m A, C♯m E, A♭m etc, though that is the long way round, and Wikipedia, as far as it can be trusted, claims there is no national anthem in F sharp minor; so that's not the route. The quicker way is to travel backwards through national anthems of A minor, F major, D minor, B♭ major.

hair
I read about Edward Posnett's Harvest: The Hidden Histories of Seven Natural Objects on a blog kept by Matthew Wills, who posts about animals he sees around the place, the place being New York and surrounds.
In his post about Harvest (https://matthewwills.com/2019/08/25/to-market-to-market/) mention is made of human hair being used to soften dough.
When I last went to the barbers in Glenhuntly (for a number four) the floor was covered in hair. I asked the barbers what they did with it all. It goes in the bin. What else can you do with it? Someone has used it to make rope for nets. I remembered the dough-softening fact. The barbers didn't believe it and I promised to provide evidence.
I put in a request with Glen Eira Library to purchase a copy of Harvest. It's yet to appear, but a copy is on the shelves at Bayside Library. The cover's different to the one Wills posts - a close up of feathers (duck eider?) instead of negative etchings of the seven natural objects - and there's an endorsment by Robert Macfarlane on the front, who I'd never heard of, but it looked and sounded like a stamp of authority: 'Exceptional... fascinating... a pleasure and an education'.
Bayside has catalogued Harvest under the category 'Comp & Bus' (...puters & ...iness?) which is odd. The book is about trade, but it's more about a search for trade that might demonstrate some kind of sustainable non-exploitative, human animal plant symbiosis, as opposed to the
Unlike most library books I borrow, I read the book in full, in part aloud. There is no mention of the use of human hair to soften dough. Rereading Wills' review I see the mention is in a link to Vice. The next time I get a haircut I'll write the link down for the barbers on a card. This is may be more convincing evidence than providing a photocopy, or the name of a book.
By the by, around the corner from the barbershop is the home of the barbers' father, also a barber. He lives in a large house with a row of pollarded locust trees along the front fence, these he crops to a tight bole at the end of each summer (I guess it's the old man who does the cutting, though I've not seen the actual prune in action, just the haircut.)

[t]housands of hides a week, hundreds of thousands of hides per year, millions over decades, an immense chain of skin and flesh stretching from the pampas of Argentina to the tanning pits of Cheshire.Except for, kind of, Icelandic eiderdown, Posnett finds no such thing. The book's got nothing to do with computers. The British Library gives it the subject 'Luxury goods industry' which adds to my feeling the last chapter, on guano, may have been tacked on.

post-breakfast composition
I used not to like Garfield or the Garfield
Cameron Spencer's sister drew
her Odie pictures smelled
but I don't mind Garfield now
This morning over reheated porridge I read Slothilda
which is just reheated Garfield jokes
reprinted from a blog
about sitting at a computer
After breakfast I put oversocks over my socks
and sat at a computer
Worse than blogs turned books
are comic book novelizations
for example those based on Bone and Hilda
the smell of the prose
possibly arises from false intentions
Last night Patrick's brother who doesn't exist
was teaching me how to draw from life
We arranged avocadoes
that I drew as a series of stacked faces
surrounded by clouds outlined with lead pencil
When I woke I felt strongly suspicious about yesterday afternoon
countered by the double rainbow
I drove as far as I could towards
without going further than we needed to to get home
The green cup in this photo is filled with water from last night

Hello,
I'm out of hospital now, it's Sunday.
M said you were still in Ballarat
where it's your birthday every second day
and the days between are Xmas and New Year.
That's what it's like down here too -
it's even better now the sun's come out.
Right now it's tea time - fish, flathead
the sweet bottom dweller with the boneless tail
I is wolfing his, M's dunking ours in a tin
of curry sauce. Tonight's budget nite
the sweetest evening of them all.
Enjoying sitting in our front yard at the moment
saying hello to neighbours and old ladies.
If you're still in the Rat or at RMIT
let's meet for hot chocolate one day, or tea.

loose sonnet
It's midday, or thereabouts, Walt Disney
is on the stereo, strenously denying whatever
I can find - rare pics of Julia Roberts' kids
if I care to click on the links microsoft provides.
You are in the shower attempting to reverse the day
may I suggest to whomsoever you petition
ask for a refund rather than your sweet hours
that have lapsed asleep in a dressing gown frowning
away the chorus of pain - do you like that phrase?
Walt, allow me to recite at least once to the cat, please...
He lies there, he knows nada, his name is Lucky.
See how the day lies. Maybe eight minutes have elapsed,
I am still at this computer, my tea is no less lukewarm,
a minute or two to revise, dance of the sugar plum.

loot lake
I wasn't there to see the re-volting
the village turn to lava
I wasn't there to see my friends
turn to ash
The game is over
My computer is quiet
I must shower
tomorrow I have school
Everything will have changed
when I return
I will read this poem and say
There are some places that I would like to name
that are unnamed
What is happening to loot lake?
What are the weird floating rocks?
What's the deal with lucky landing?
Why do so many chitterarti land at loot lake
in endgame mode?
I like landing at fatal fields,
Do you like landing at tilted towers?

all your old info
Data has mushroomed since the internet.
The internet has mushroomed since data
has mushroomed the internet. Since data
has data, the internet mushroomed since.
Has the internet mushroomed data since?
Poof it all goes, poof! Up in metaphors,
puffball spores, dandelion dander, plane
tree dust. Although all those are still there
this stuff just disappears into thin air.
Data since has. The internet mushroomed
the since data. Has mushroomed internet
mushroomed data? Has internet? Since the
internet has since mushroomed, the data,
the internet data has since mushroomed.

approaching a sonnet with my safety in mind
The ground is my keyboard, I tap it
with my stick. There is a golf ball
on the end of it. When I want to look
something up on the internet, I go for a walk.
Because I am vision impaired, Google
has my future in mind: whenever
I cross the information superhighway,
they know which intersections Council
has superglued dimples to. One day
Google hopes to coat all access points
with their magic, logo-coloured data
so that in order to get to the other side
I must do a search with my stick...
tap tap, tap tap tap, click.

fan dictation
SD and JP have just moved to BH9... in a really nice house. They start at the local school what's the skinny blonde's name? She's just had a nose job. SD doesn't have the right kind of clothes, goes shopping with Donna and the blonde one, steals clothes. Do her "friends" see her steal the clothes? I think the blonde one might encourage her to steal the clothes. Blonde one likes JP, thinks he's a spunk. LP doesn't go to the school but is in the background somehow, but SD thinks he's a spunk as does the blonde one. SD gets caught shoplifting, parents very disappointed. Do they have a dog? No. That's all I've got for you, that's the first episode. I think the blonde one might drive a red convertible. And I think JP makes friends with LP because they go surfing and he's a surfer dude, but that's just a guess. So today I have to watch the first episode and I can tell you what actually happens.

He's not going to spontaneously combust unless I nag him.
Have you spontaneously combusted?
Isn't it time to spontaneously combust?
Haven't you done your spontaneous combustion yet.
Why haven't you spontaneously combusted.
Have you spontaneously combusted?
Isn't it time to spontaneously combust?
Haven't you done your spontaneous combustion yet.
Why haven't you spontaneously combusted.

goodbye big chungus
On the weekend we're going to make an effigy of Big Chungus and we're going to light a fire and throw Big Chungus in the flames. We're going to gather the ashes of Big Chungus and take them to Brighton Beach and we're going to scatter them in the sea.

tawny
Watched our local
perch on the pergola
locate a cicada
singing close by,
drop to the ground
and pluck the cicada
returning to pergola
to gulp it whole.

If I gave you the gift of a gif would you give a gif to me?
You could give me a gif for a gift if I gave you a gif gift too.
If it's OK for a gif giver to give gifs for gifts, could I get a gif gift delivered?
Maybe I should just get a jpeg instead.

screen-free Sunday visit
to Escher exhibit
claustrophobia
sourdough and cantelope
by the floral clock
loyal duck, cheeky duck
cats torment mouse
Rosa on the back step crying
bolognese for tea
dandelions
the poems I have missed
paying attention to signs
groups of tiny fimo creatures
Djokovic beats Nadal on TV

sonnet
Where do you time the simile
does it pop up at the start of the poem
I can hear a bird singing like
a bird at midday alone
Or midway through
a stanza or two down
like now, the like saying to your listener
you are about to get a comparison
which feels like the feeling you get when the light
turns green to yellow
you are about to get a red
either stop now or push the foot down and plough through.
The last line simile has a distinct tone
like a smell
does it pop up at the start of the poem
I can hear a bird singing like
a bird at midday alone
Or midway through
a stanza or two down
like now, the like saying to your listener
you are about to get a comparison
which feels like the feeling you get when the light
turns green to yellow
you are about to get a red
either stop now or push the foot down and plough through.
The last line simile has a distinct tone

The Blob
Although the Russians were never coming
The Blob is an omen still.
Aided by automobiles, CO2 saves the day.
With the cooperation of the Arctic
the blob is locked away - like methane
bubbles in permafrost the sequel
is being released as we speak.
See also The Thing. This spoiler alert
brought to you by a lukewarm
Steve McQueen as Steve, teenage coal-mine
canary in an English mustard cardigan
not yet grown into his eyebrows,
holding his old man for the camera
in Big Sur, famous grape jelly
coming through the ventilation grill.
He wanted nothing to do with the inevitable
Son of Blob. He said he'd rather burn in Hell.
