A Graphic Designer by day; a wild animal by night. Always on the constant search for the perfect balance of beauty and functionality....

A dank mix of bin juice and frying oil,
teleports me back through the loading dock.
A paper thin shirt wrapped in plastic,
dousing stainless steel shapes under fluros.

The squeaky fat cart rolls over greasy tiles,
Braving the freezer blast for a box of 10 to 1.

Early morning drive in. A rain drop hits the screen, contorting and evolving as the slipstream bends its perimeter.

It stays for a beat, then is wiped clean.

Returning home at dusk, a plane cuts the pastel sky. Soaring high above the traffic, set free. #craptwitterpoem

@mattokine 2 weeks usually?

Flying towards central, an airbus hangs southbound in the sky, talons proud.

Two owls sit stoic, perched upright, dressed in pre-war drab, bejewelled with frowns.

A parrot invades the silence, laughing at no one, black silky feathers, squawking sidewards.

So.... My Apple Watch running watchOS 6.3 no longer displays my iPhone in the 'Now Playing' app since upgrading to iOS 17.4.1 @Apple #ios #watchOS

Silver starlet with sidewall damage
smoking the bags on Sussex St

Starbucks posers take selfies behind a
suit sipping a short black

Slow ambling sidewalkers create a squeeze point, oblivious to the surge of stalkers

So I think Coles and Woolies should be made to give next years annual profit to every citizen of Australia: https://t.co/SBwAnj9keU

Last train to transcentral, coffee hits bright like a bolt of world peace. An electric river in my brain, creating worlds.

The sun cuts the crisp cool morning, throwing sharp shadows on the platform. Setting saturation to stun.

But no one is here to see it.

So I have a persistent pet peeve with #ios.

When searching the emoji keyboard – why does the keyboard switcher button disappear? I want to be able to search an emoji, then switch back to the main keyboard without tapping that annoying other button? Is there a reason? @Apple?

@crazyclipsonly Slowest mode always has right of way right?

[Anders Alexander @andersofsydney]

Train smells like aeroplane food.
Can’t hear the guard announcements over fever ray. Fluros light the passing darkness.

Gliding into Central, hooked to the handrail, Pet Shop Boys comes on.

Remembering lightly clouded blue skies, a simpler time, heading west.

Perhaps the Reserve Bank Board members should all be forced to remortgage their houses to the average mortgage size (577k), and take a pay cut down to the average adult income (97k), and THEN have a good hard think about ways to lower inflation.

Hey @yasisalek – do you take requests for #bandsplain? I'd love to hear an ep on INXS. And not just because I'm Australian. And live in Sydney.

Swimming lessons at noon, sun set to burn.
We splash in the sparkled pool, mirror-shades reflect the sky. Goggles float above the waterline.

Meanwhile metres away, sausages line up to fry.
Posing with towels spread out on a concrete slab, turning every 20 mins.

Boarding mid train, I take the usual spot.
The bench, the loaf end with the leg room.

Sitting politely, it hits by stealth. Vinegar soaked, old sock, salty, unmissable.

I don’t dare move, pinned by the stench,
Even after he is long gone, I can’t shift it.

@LeighWolf Can you replace Trump for Abraham Lincoln for example? Trump is a very divisive character right now, so the AI might literally have issues with him?
