Another Saturday Afternoon
Conner pops his head out.
Imogen retrieves washing from drive sequence.
Zio uses front door. Sew then patch.
Gens reclines. Reading material in hand.
Shay Shay Shay.
I can't get through the fucking door. Bags and boxes.
Extension of self. Extension of character.
Zio returns through the studio. Engages with Gens. la la.
Gens is sitting up, legs crossed. Reading material on couch.
Shay what have you done today?
Karin is boxing. Plenty of wood there.
Zio is smashing glass.
Gens gets up and walks into the living room. Out of sight...
Smash Smash. Zio is breaking glass. Small shards. Glistening
in the sun. Moulded in clay.
Just grabbed the top end of the train horn, pulling out of st
peters station. That's all the time I need. Game on - game off.
Increment.s.
Trickling glass.
Wind picks up and rustles.
Just making a start on the space. Wait for your eyes to adjust.
Reaching normal. Weary perception.
This is terrible. The sound. Restrained and formulaic. Evoking
nothing. Invoking the past in an uninteresting way.
help me out with a name here Em
exactly what it is
there is
nothing really that I could say
to you
now
that you wouldn't
understand, and so
I do my best
when I stay as silent as
an Irish countryside night
or as quiet as
an Irish man
at
a
wake.

And the barn door rattled
the lock snapped in the kynetic.
The animals cowered
and the roof leaked
and the hot water took a while to heat up
and the garden grew weeds
and the damn had an octopus in it.
And they paid for the farm with notes in three suitcases.

I have your atoms of knowledge right
here tucked away beneath the under
garments of pant and pants. Let me
see how guaranteed your wash and
wear policy is mister Franklin J
cossie toppler. Show me the unbridled
joy of unsafe love major. Make tok tic
filmic extravaganza in the showreel
of a washed up marionette. Give me a
nickel and I will willingly let you touch
me anywhere you so please for so
long as it takes for me to count to ten.
I say out the cents you got as many
seconds you you you has me all
wrong. I just want to impregnate you for
the survival of the species. As I, dominant
male, and you, prize sow, are at death's
point attempting a final salvation for
the escaping of the meaningless drivel
exposed as livelihood/sex.
Saturday Afternoon
It's a lovely Saturday afternoon. Gens walks up to the back door, sleeping mat in hand.
'Did Clare fix that, or are you just sick of seeing it in your living room?'
'Is this you? yes?'
'Yes.'
New scene. The green hand towel.
'I think Linda put it there. I am not making any claim to it.'
Three angels fly round the corner followed by a black succubus. They walk, tallest to shortest, as though the last could swell into the preceding.
Shared rear access.
No matter how big and ugly the vehicle pummelling down the road is it shall distract you from whatever it is you are doing. Needn't bother straightening that park out, wont be long.
I can hear the typing, but I cannot visually determine where it is being done. Slowly, carefully, delicately position a one tonne metal waste transport device into a 'no stopping' zone.
Convenient. Why else?
Look over here - I have given birth and still look hotter than your daughter.
Another vw, another p plate, the same problem.
Dog shouts. Person barks. Car horns and sirens - get the fuck out of my way. There is a lot of bitumen out there, but no room to move. City/Ultimo van hire.
A younger version of Van Gough sitting on a balcony, typing what he ought to be painting.
