8-2-8 melbn, coastal heritage park where strange tower with ball and compass stand mute testamony to skilled stonework. blue fuel tanks and cranes industrial and gulls preindustrial share bay with dredges and dolphins. sun finally broke through. library read age and australian to confirm news still happening. comforting to know global climate tipping at exponential rates. homeowner interest to nine percent. australia ready to burst at seams. coal, iron, gas, petroleum in spades, all black. uranium, titanium, tantalum; gold, diamonds and opals for hearts. what dreamtime is this? australium. another million in five years. can anybody count? how many humans does it take to bake a cake? nine apparently, number nine, number nine. a cascade of fragment of thought like a snowstorm. grab one flake and make it real. have it melt in your outstretched hand. then council worker feeding seagulls chips providing magnificent display of stationary flight by window of truck.
