i never say my address aloud

whenever i’m at home

i don’t want my neighbours

to know where i live

i can never remember

the dit dit

money machine

pin number

and that's good

cause if i know it

who else does?

i've been learning

to look around corners

so i can see

what’s really up ahead

(around the corners)

i bought another dog

this one is to guard

the first one i bought

i got my eye on him

he’s got his eye

on the silverware

and the silverware

is watching

what i don’t see

i can't help but

read the phone book

who are all these people

…?

i don’t know them

Monday to Friday

i sit in my front garden

a bloke always comes

about eleven am

i know it’s the postie

but what's with the letters?

i tune all my tv's

in my house

to channel Ola Pendejo

it's like a Mexican radio

for my eyes

mmm

agave tequila,

cartel mescaline

and iguana on a stick

lo siento no hablo español

whenever i go

on country outings

or any outings really

i let my doubts

take another car

a half hour ahead

they'll work it out

on their own

and i get

a worry free ride

(in theory)

i do need to start

hoarding Twinkies

but

i got on the road snacks

i made those fast fat tracks

i put on my good tan slacks

i got on the sugar

and corn syrup to boot

coupla jars a honey

fuck nuts and fruit

    This needs to be a comic book...the visuals are jumping off the page.

    It’s not paranoia if they are watching… And…. They are…. Nice one Brenton.
