fifteen hours. fourteen, depending on where in australia you are from. but for me, it is fifteen hours. los angeles is fifteen-hour flight from melbourne. fifteen hours on a plane, and you’ll be in america. you’ll be in a ****** country, where it almost seems like the new craze is to be a shooter, and you only get noticed if you get shot. they are begging, pleading, “please stop them from killing us, our families, our friends!” and the others say “oh, but i really love my gun.” “and i care about my gun more than i care about you.” “and i care more about my machine made to take life than about you getting to keep yours.” and that’s just that, i suppose. i am fifteen hours away from a ****** country, and i can’t tell if i’m too close or not close enough. i am fifteen hours away from a ****** country, and for some reason, that’s just fine.
