lyrics

Possums ring the remaining half of the art centre spire, their cataract eyes blinded to the irradiated sky scrapping the top of the lush red gum canopy lining the former Bourke Street. A glint of light bounces off a gap in the clog of choking milk thistle strangling the rusting hulk of a B-Class, prostrate, interred in encroaching soil. Roots split the remnants of bitumen.

Old Elizabeth returned to embrace the Yarra's flow of toxic waste. A permanent haze settles, a radioactive ash in the sediment. 7 Riverside Quay reduced to a crumbling edifice, a monument to hubris, or some equally tired metaphor. Sunken islands and risen tides, oceans devoid of life, a predetermined legacy. No one can say we didn't have it coming. Vindication of the pessimists, an apparent failure of the long hoped for emergence of some utopic Kurzweilian outcome.

The void enveloped the histories of seven billion jerks. The victory of the gaping maw long seen smacking its lips, prepared for the swallowing. Pull into the firmament, past the halo of space junk, to locate the last pilgrim drifting past the rings of Saturn. A new voyager probing black sports the immortality drive and a golden record, its grooves containing apex of culture. Like the one where Walter White chases a fly around the super lab. It will be a thousand years until some black alien eyes glance below, past the disc, under the housing, to the panel there just underneath. The cosmic plea etched in the heat shield reads “do not resuscitate”.
