Literature
The Streets Looked Different
The streets looked different, And the winds they didn't howl, Every single step I took, Was coupled with a scowl. And the streets felt different, They lost all memory, Somehow.
Literature
Apple of my Eye
Furry furry fuzzball
apple of my eye,
String cheese moon
hanging in the sky,
These things happen
is not a good condolence.
Don't lie.
I'm reminded of
that time at the beach,
Your hair was like a waterfall
I lost all speech.
It's a funny nickname for you,
my Peach.
My love.
The apple of my eye.
It's a funny word to say,
goodbye.
Literature
Starry Eyed
You make maps to ceiling constellations,
and I wanna lie here and trace every line,
until we're lost in the dark matter of your mind.
With arms cooly tucked beneath your head,
you navigate an escape from nothingness.
There is a brilliance spilling from your lips,
as your mouth rambles on and on.
You have long drifted alone with starry eyes,
but now you've found a passenger.

As I mention reasonably frequently in my poetry and comments, I'm from the Brisbane-ish region of Queensland, Australia. This year I'm visiting Melbourne for Christmas with some much beloved relatives. While I'm sure there's nowhere near the difference in cultures than visiting Atlanta from Chicago or Glasgow from Liverpool, I still notice a few things about visiting the more southerly Eastern Mainland cities.
For instance Melbourne has a reputation of being trendy and fashionable, often to the point of appearing snobbish or vain to other Australian visitors. I'm here in standard Queensland costume: t-shirt, shorts, thongs. (NB: Thongs meaning flip-flops, not lingerie. ). Melbournians seem much more likely to be in designer jeans, collared shirts (in Summer? ), trendy sneakers or leather shoes. Don't even get me started about football scarves and cardigans.
Secondly, some things (but not all) appear to be less expensive in Melbourne and downtown I notice greater signs of affluence. There are wealthy professionals who drive prestige cars from out of downtown parking lots in Brisbane, too, but there seems to be more convoys of them cutting each other off and hurling abuse at other motorists than we see at our end.
By the same token it's easy to spot the Victorian back home. They have supporter paraphernalia for football teams no-one else knows or cares about and are the only ones swimming at beaches in Winter marveling at the warmth of the water.
