ce
monde
ancien
echo across the plains of outer melbourne
IKEA
distinct through floor-to-ceiling glass
and kilometres of air
the old escalators
replaced by stairs
and suicide nets
— fifteen years earlier
a slumped first-year
vomits on himself
and around himself
on the train platform
and the carriages straighten out along lines
sometimes kinking
to the side sometimes
hauled through half-asleep
the klangfarbenmelodie
of level crossings.
Tim Wright has done time at a number of suburban university campuses.
