Mark has five sons
a lapsed security guard license
& an ambition to carve kid's toys
out of red cedar.
Voted for One Nation in '98
because it gave the major parties
'a good kick up the arse'.
Had a father who was a drifter
& now sits smoking, talking shit
to Jonathon, the ex-Sydney street kid
about the lack of love in the world.
Jonathon shrugs his shoulders,
blames the rise of Pauline Hanson
on the Year on the Tiger (a time
of powerful female figures).
Does not have a comfort zone,
at least one he won't share
with the rest of the group.
Doesn't label anything because
once you label something people
just want to take it from you.
Sits listening to Helen the JNM
talk about conditioning & how
they need to break out of it!
How they've all been conditioned
to be unemployed. How they can
grow a new habit in three weeks.
Mark is more optimistic about
the prospect of finding work
than Jonathon. J is all thumbs
down about the future, fails
to turn up for an interview.
Waits for starry messengers
to breach him.
G,day
