Red Centre
Red Centre
The furthest thing from August
Not a town worthy of such bluster
As to be nominated for boundless potential
Or the best getaway within a capital idea’s remove
From itself as cause for celebration surveyed
Through a gap in the pine clustered to redoubt
Cause and effect
Uluru Uluru Uluru
The call goes out to redeem the dreaming
In a request from the heart to keep off the rock
You know you don’t like heights Pauline
So for crying out loud sit down and shut up
Hope springs eternal in gushing through sands of time
To serve notice on failed justice outcropped to warrant
Introspection as a means of travel beyond the pull of the Earth
Cast in the shadow of its own film set for Mars at the same time
Stock in trade allegiances boast the launch of our very own space
Agency to sponsor the quest to touch the sky and paint new rainbows
Born of theories stringing us along in the wake of contrite contrails.
