We all spend
our lives now
trying not
to become
data points

Lifting veils
The process
of ageing
is one of
lifting the
veils, one by
one, that hide
the number
of stupid
people
in the world,
until you

The shelves of

the environment.

ask the cost
of war.
Under the influence
I’ve always
been the
trendsetter
who set a trend
of not setting
trends
Eyes wide closed
Having an online
map of bushfires
in this state,
constantly
updated,
is good because
it keeps you
informed about
what is burning.
It is bad
because it keeps
you informed about
what is burning.
