Where did you sleep last night?
Did you sleep in your car?
Did you shiver,
my wild star?

Hayley's Prayer
Hayley prays for the end of sleepless nights.
She's tired. She's tired of dawns filled with boastful birds.
"We've slept and you haven't!" they exclaim.

Weirdo Blues
I'm in the centre of the room.
I'm on the outside of the world.
I'm upside down.
I'm inside out.
I'm full of dreams.
I'm full of doubts.
My head's full of doubts
about you.

Sway of the Dragon
Bruce Eel swayed, punching the air.
He screamed. So did Chuck Sirron.
Bruce rolled his eyes. He knew that in the future, people would joke about how tough Chuck was.

Melbourne Drift
I drift through life.
Living sideways has its advantages.
The most important one is this: you can't see objects before you hit them.

Melbourne, the City of Ghosts
Vague shadows dance in the night-time laneways.
Welcome to Melbourne, the City of Ghosts.
The ghosts are your hosts for a walking tour.
Hear whispered stories of heart-break and rage.

Periphery
Michael was on the periphery. Of this group, of this city, of this world.
Michael was on the threshold of stripping naked, running into the forest and becoming a wolf.
