I have concerns about the compacted and obscure images below but since
two previous attempts have been posted I feel a need to send this as
well (along with feeling a need for speed... it has been so long since I
mainlined this delightful white substance, please send me some in your
post!)



Bar-B-Q part two: 


Playing games


A small bird squeaks and a dog urinates
on a fence under a runt river gum

	slabs of red beef on a dead gum tree stump

	shade heavy afternoon humidity
		thundering summer storm frighten dog barks

hard winds stripping
		leaves into light brown air

low pressure system amplified noise
transported across interstate highways

unconvincing faded roadside signs
being struck by hail the size of oranges

brittle sun scorched synthetic rope gives way
	in smelling ozone air lightening strikes

and for a limited time you take part
	in the game being played

frozen black tomato vines burnt with frost
	growing vegetables out of season

an illness keeps you alive
	without being able to pay for your life

a game to play with a newly designed high fire
	military jet to keep secret

all part of a deliberately laid out plan
	goes out with paid staff searching

registering any advantage; observe advantage
tracking back in time symmetric repeats
	histories of distinct racial difference
		mobilising new armies to take sides

again, in drug war smuggling over borders
	wealth, drugs and consumption

weapons go south, machine pistol guns
what understanding is needed, now, scale
delivers a distorted first world

what claims are scientific fact	
		in a supermarket aisle
buyers beware	read content	with care.

Legal interpretation;
every model will tell a truth
	my oath is on this	I say
		crime rates always going up.

Take me to a forbidden city first class
	in air conditioned comfort

spring flowers droop in summer heat
	a quick winter's summer

contained in a gift of extremes growing
	to come apart all over
		interacting like a large living city

		exchanging only ideas
welcome to the city state a variety of fruit flavours
packed from the top a tight imported sweetness


deep wrinkles make ageing images thrown some days across a room
with financial institution's slogan claims
	the man most likely to disappoint a case in sight
		battle, a flash, new territories.

Just on a rare occasion we turn over to our maker's claim
		the most rare hand made silver
		both of us made in the same time
		says our lover's mark

Making a tense rescue with no good news to pass on
the crisis is getting worse come back to me and do
		something later this week with a stronger final.


Unknown murky milky substances leak outside
	taking three cameras to see what you do
		containing you slowly without challenge.
