Gnostic Mana

(First visit)
The woman behind me wants to open a restaurant
or get her truck licence and travel Australia
or become an astronaut and live on the moon
that would be cool – live on the moon
not forever just for a while
Waxheads check out babes
getting a sugar hit in the corner
grannies and greenies gabber sipping vegan coffee
I wonder if I want to move to Woy Woy
a pelican walks past
the sun slouches in for the afternoon

A hilarious piece of nonsense, written with pace and wit – in particular those outstanding final lines, :’a pelican walks past/ the sun slouches in for the afternoon.’
Thanks, true story for the most part. Written on the first day I went looking for a house in the area. The real estate agent recommended the Gnostic for its coffee. Strange world, now I have my own business on that very corner. A writing group called Friday Night Poets and the Half=Written Book Club is starting there too. See hypnohub.com.au if you are curious.
