Sardines

You may recall that one of my posts earlier this week had a bit of a bitch about being sick from walking around in the rain. To elaborate, i was walking around in the rain on wednesday because i (along with 3 of my friends) was stupid enough to get off the bus before our stop. If you saw the houses on that street, you would understand exactly why. They all look exactly the same. No problems, we'll just follow the street until we see a sign pointing us towards OHS. It shouldn't have been a problem, but oh hell was it a problem. We ended up walking past the aforementioned sign, well past OHS. When did we notice we were lost? When we saw a sign pointing us towards Manly beach. So we went and rang up OHS and they gave us directions to where we were supposed to be. Amazingly, we still arrived before the exams actually started. Keep in mind that all this was happening in 90km/h wind and heavy rain.

"...late showers on Wednesday".
It was only nine;
we already carried the stench of rain

The bus offered some relief
for sardines out of water.

Early alightment:
Now begins the adventure.
Lost in Autumn rain

like a frenzied tsunami,
never running the the right way.

Dampened and windswept
umbrellas, water logged feet.
These were out tattoo.

The bus stop offered shelter

for sardines sick of the water.

We never saw the coast;
only a thousand ships; black sails
raised in mock salute.
