Subject: rambling thoughts of a sleep depraved psychosomatic

5.56 am.

no sleep

Peering out into the blackness
searching for the first ray
the glimpse of the early dawn sun
over Port Phillip Bay

bleary eyed
red from the fine print
the hours in front of the inanimate screen
as my youth escapes me

26 years old
20 years educated
to reach this precipice
to watch my youth waste away

traded the peaks of Kuta
and the tranquil of Bakuk
for the 12 hour days
and the aura of success

the three course lunches
the two piece suits
the purposeful walk
and the haughty look

oh my rainforest
to feel the rustle of the undergrowth
the soothing sago beating
the rumble of thunder beyond Giluwe

yet 35 floors up
in a citadel of glass
an eagle's eyrie over mass humanity
as my youth bleeds into the legalese

perched here
I survey the domain of my control
the legal tomes
the facade of diction

yet my mind wonders
to a brother in madang
an uncle on a turqouise sea
a vision that beckons me

as my tired mind rambles
Oh for the suns touch on my cheek!!
with its two day growth
beneath red and shadowed eyes

yet the contract awaits
as my mind wanders
looking for the sun
and pining for my youth
I am only 26
