unposted card

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?
