today i met a man who spoke about country people
and how where he lives out of town they will help you out
and keep an eye out for each others places and other things about it being quiet
boss is going somewhere like that
i went there once or twice
i worked on a farm for a week or so
a man had hurt his back
i took his place
i killed a lamb
we cooked it and ate it
it had a sore neck too maybe broken
so it seemed humane
i remember thinking it was not too different to a big rabbit
in that sense
i went to another farm where boss will go to
they had cattle dogs there
yet they have passed away
we ate scones
like in another time
and the golden syrup came out in the old tin
like you had not seen for years
as it would have been years old
like the honey of the egyptians
untouched
i dreamed of the woman i worked with before we met
it was the only time i saw a lizard person like that
the sun was prominant behind her figure
in the paddock
she would have been eighty or so im only guessing
when people say their grandmother could work harder thats her
she fixed the fences with me and was tough as boot leather
her skin was too like old boot leather
as the type of those who had worked so hard in that sun
it showed and told tales for itself
i thought maybe thats why she was represented as a lizard person
but i don't think so
i think it was something else
the sun was prominent yes
in that scene
boss will like it i feel
i asked i would really like you to have him
i feel you guys are really going to get along
he says
i spoke to the children about it
ok i will take him
that makes me very happy

it feels right
