(Sythetic fish and chips and the quarry) - By Garry Sanders
- An email to an old love who commited the mass exodus to new earth in 2045.
I remember back to the good old days, where we s**t talked our feelings in
our favorite extinct animal suits, or those glowing summers baking our brown bodies In the overbearing radiation.
Drawing opaque cascading
landscapes with blunt pencils,
sharpening our senses on caffeine
and THC, stimming from flacid humour.
I remember nights of strolling down hay street in our fluro shades and cheap cosmetics, tacky incorporeal stickers, on our stinging green plastic plaid vests. Puffing on our h**p ci******es we transformed words into images and sound into reality.
We ran this city, In our XR 80, from mitchel freeway highs
Armadale road lows, from fremantle quay uppers
To hyde park blues.
We bottled time and nursed our wound,
we sat in reconstituted lawn chairs at kings park drinking Our chateau 2020 we stole, debating whether the glass was half or empty. Knowing neither logic nor truth we fashioned gullable principles based loosley on virtual soap operas, and mainstream E - stars. Trading stories for broken ciggarettes we made slaves of fools.
Now im alone', in a world full of air wasters , resource theives, electric assasins and mushroom cloud anthropologists tormented by the polyverse of our vast distilled technocratic empire. All hail john huges the 3rd uppp the mighty Eagles, and the bell tower renegades.
Yet time stands still no more, as faces blur in crowds of enslaved wills trapped within artifical sensations, create the equation and theyll flock like pigeons, develop the serum and thell kiss your feet maybe even lick between your toes the grit of your filth. Superstar status - God/dom
Gone are those days of fishing at the swan river, now a polluted wasteland of abandoned irresponsibility. All thats left are rubbish heaps and burned trash left guttering the fetid streams.
It is now cold dusk on a cold winters eve as i drive past mourning tribesmen in cashmere jackets and velvet trunks trudging through hazey neoWA streets. Youth overpopulate commercial corners soliciting their wares to unwary pedestrians, law enforcers eyes on every wall.
Suburbs a wretch of antiquidated heteronormality and things havent gotten better since you left this planet to go start life on New Earth.
So today i decided to stop at the local Grub Zone on my way up mundaring hills. I pulled in to buy my sythentic fish and GMO hot chips, and i couldnt help but think of all those times we swam in heavily chlorinated waters, drank from tainted springs and bathed in naked sunbeams.
Now things are even worse. Theres very little clean atmosphere, the only pets left are dogs and cats which we keep inside at all times due to blood markets. Everything else is extinct. I wish you were here with me as i eat my pastey fried slop and ponder beyond neoWAs neon forest and sparkling fields. This quarry is all thats left of my heart, all vital essence ripped leaving a gaping hole in my chest.
My life now a shallow frame held together by cheap ethanol, and over priced to***co, everyone everywhere a hollow shell of their former selves, so immersed screens and codes they forget themselves. At least this sensation of our favorite meal at our old hang spot will cheer me up. Its 2060 now and i have run out of things to do to keep me alive. I have given up. There is nothing left for me.
Signed
Your transmorphic moth
