It's midnight or
8 p.m. according to my watch.
The Esplanade pub, St. Kilda.
I sit freezing by the window,
outside the sea pretends to sleep.
It stares at me.
In the toilet I
ask a guy for a light
as he is pissing, humming.
"Why don't you pull down my pants
mate"
he yelled.
Next to me a girl is shivering to the music
I say, "I saw 12 aborigines dancing
around
my car, at Wilson's Prom yesterday".
The girl frowns with a shrug,
then turns away.
I order another VB..
I drink another VB..
The whole night
is equally dark
and tonight it is.
The place closes when I leave.
Going home I lie down
in front of the TV,
trying to sleep.
Now in Melbourne
it's 6 o'clock,
but it's just 2
am there in Bangkok.
