time
immemorial
or
to
be observant
makes
a kind of landscape
full
of promises broken and kept
I
forget there's so much to remember
a
flag and you can sing it too
it's
like the wishlist you call Santa
or
you call God to you
I
always remember I have to forget
this
pisses off the deity
but
what is there to do?
salute
so
much I have to forget
I
have to remember
it's
what I do
the
shopping
for
instance the milk and the honey
join
all these dots
and
you'll have a border
wadi
where
the water falls
stare
hard
the
wall goes up
turns
us into
a
souvenir
then
under the dust
and
trash and gone
sombre
music
wipe
a tear
promised
I
promise to remember
healing
like
the wound over time
I
forget
so
much
in
order to remember
that
I have to forget
sometimes
I
forget
to
forget
this
always leads to trouble
then
I remember sometimes
it
never lasts for long
but
I was chosen for the task
a
stretch from sleep
but
the dream forgets me
God's
angry
I
can't remember why
wake
up to myself then
I
remember to remember
to
forget
have
to forget
what's
in front of my nose now
forget
myself as well
but
all of this just so as to remember
on a
clear day
carry
me over the river
then
you will see who we are /// then you will know who I am
coda
I am
the happy Australian
(that's
south made something, someone
from
what happened to be here)
trust
me I'm very good at
forgetting
who was here before
forgetting
where I'm from
