Australian I write about normal things. I don't see anything as purely tragic, purely comical, purely beautiful, purely evil or purely good. I like the bland; the beige. / I am a person who is from Australian suburbia; a person who has grown up with only the minimal challenges that this environment provides. It seems the most logical thing to explore. / Extreme feelings or extreme comparisons or extreme thoughts or extreme options aren't necessarily derived from extreme realities. / Internally people can be a storm or a plain no matter where they reside. / This in it's self to me is kinda funny and futile. / This is what i like to write about.
the child recieves his paper ****** backward by the one in front flip the three pages flippantly one : intimidating . . two : boring the third adorned unexpectedly a longer -than seems can be usually- grown hair with a clump of green root sprung out and slaughtered, down across the width; stuck above the questions beneath how could he not have seen? a pile so viscous and obscene? does everyone else have one??? are they holding their disgust beneath? he looked up at the teacher. A look of vigilance his face bequeathed. B  ut now it sprung out almost pus like a faint smile,         a teachers calm reprieve he then leaned back on his chair in comfort drooping his head back his nostrils flared now toward the child the hairs brustling from inside, all locked up in a ***** days remnants all foul            and long and dehydrated     like a swamp now sunned crisp; reeds on a stale bank drawn in he felt uneasy unable to cease to stare incased inside the world that spawned in the swamp that lay up there in the cavernous orifices there then he saw the teachers eyes, his gaze it stuck on him, the teacher began to grin further back his head leant his eyes jaundiced his teeth tanned his face pale his grin outstretched and thin

Feels strange to vacate A place I hate But in retrospect Might come to relate To, for reasons are undecided.   Not dissimilar to others the reasons : ‘I’m elated!’ to be elsewhere more Common.   To what I feel I /proper/ know And want And will have as of fri/6thofseptember 2013 But why-----or to --  what Do I desire                               – other –                                                                    or -------– is –--------- Time will tell I suppose; even if, it previously hasn’t. I wonder whose money I’m justifying the investment for

solid congealed masses of fat sit balloons filling within joints stagnant extremities feel as if they are solidifying the man becoming a statue; a watcher here lies a perfect specimen of 21st (and in the latter half to a third) a  20th century man seated before the primary means of oral, aural and visual communication.  Oral pertaining to the man's ability to only speak of it and the programmes displayed on it . . . .  . as still as the brain is telling them to be as still as the brain wants them to be it doesn't want to be left out you see, feels secluded when dormant alongside a healthy, active set of limbs and torso so it persuades them ever so gently to become as lazy as he so he feels more at home in his body; the brain he lords over the body tyrannically and purposefully. Extraneous effort can be avoided, in all manners of life; whilst sitting, whilst working, whilst running.  Being properly lazy has to do with how little you can do without doing something else.  It is possible to run at a speed that does not cease to be running but it is not walking.  You can sit only so still before you are asleep.  Being properly lazy is being able to sit precariously on this line so perfectly you don't slip backwards or forwards into a useful action or being in the top percentile of the new lesser action which you are in essence, lording over physically.  An extremely intelligent man can be extremely lazy in an activity that would take a long concentrated effort from another less intelligent man, but in essence, he is really just avoiding falling asleep. Laziness can be misappropriated; attributed to men who are not lazy at all.  A man at the enth of any discipline could not be considered lazy; the same could be said about a man at the enth of his ability.  We speak of course in terms of natural ability.  Actions achieved in ones current capability; carried out without carrying on other efforts to cavort himself into a higher category of actions (a laziness compared to ability graph could be constructed/plotted and then correlated if one could be bothered).  Of course, it goes without saying that the achievance of these goals necessary to propel or descend a man into the new upper or lower segment of before described laziness are in turn harder or easier to achieve depending on the man's predetermined stature; position in life even, considering we are talking of afflictions that affect a man and not a boy, and therefore we are assuming that the formative years are not thus (formative) and are but a compulsory precursor, a cross that every man must bear; not a development that pertains to the quantity of laziness he possesses. with a sea of unachieved tasks/goals laid out before him he resides to sit patiently waiting for something to happen in front of him, sometimes clicking a mouse, sometimes a remote sometimes he is angry that he is boring sometimes he calls a friend to be angry at the boxes with him sometimes he feels sick that he is a piece of **** sometimes he laughs at people on the boxes who are pieces of **** but most of the time he is a piece of **** happily, content that he is at least part of a healthy digestive system, whether he is the result/byproduct of, or the action that produced the **** in the first place.

are feelings of love felt alone, feelings of love at all? or selfish yelps for attention borne of boredom & a sense we only hold on our own of childish - - - - idleness. singularity less; more independence from a whole the only company he keeps is furniture together with the furniture of the house he sits, with seven seats left empty, the curtains tales appear to grin without validation from another he feels like a child standing the school's final bells rung the bustle of the day has droned now dissipated the bustle of the day irritated when it droned, he longed for home for the bus as he waits for the bus the quiet surrounds hold tight but hold cold like a fridge door keeps, it clutches, encloses the school yard empty he stands; singular; out of place in the surrounds the school bleeds terror when empty The laughs & shouts & jeers & footsteps keep the wholesomeness whole empty of shouts a graveyard now the ghosts of the day linger & they finger your buttons they push your tenderness they kneed out they **** (with their cold digits they **** just like the furniture does. just like the furniture in the house laughs when uninhabited it silently jeers 'Why so many seats mate?' it pokes with its linen digit; fuzzy but cold as it continues 'you're alone waiting for someone to come by and pick u up & take u back to home
