we found this house in "The Brook". that's part of my address. isn't
that great? 42 Seymour Ave, The Brook, Nelson, NZ. (send me money and
cookies) this place sounded perfect. we get to rent it four fore for
an couple odd months and then after that the place would be renovated.
i used to live with these other people. all from couch surfing. some
paid rent but we'd have guest couch surfers stay with us all the time.
the house was always full to like the uncomfortable max but you know
how you get used to it. being a sardine in a two bedroom soggy mold
bocx. damp. moist. mildew.

renovation is awaiting approval from the city council. we live in this
posh area where all the houses look like old school, except for ours
which looks like the designer was on cocaine and liked disco. some old
cunt worried about their property values started some association
which lobbied the council to impose rules about the way houses should
look in this historic area.

it's just hannah and me now. the house is empty. we drug our moldy
foam mattress off the pallets in our room and dropped it right in front
of our fire place. i'm gonna burn that nasty mattress. it sticks to my
body through a sheet in an unnatural fashion. the way only synthetic
materials can stick to you. ours hours of body sweat and spores
cultivating under me throughout the porous pores and passage ways in
the polymer. i don't like it. i tried putting down a sprig of manuka
but that just prevented the pallets from molding right where the
manuka was. all around the manuka there was little spots of mold
still.

we will leave this place soon and move into a van, a camp ground, or a
boarding house. the camp ground up the maitai valley was fucking
amazing last summer. the kind of heat and life that make you feel like
you're a speck in some festering gangrene wound. microscopic. fighting
for dominance or just survival among the teeming life which composes
the rapid infection. there's bugs everywhere. the bush grows so
quickly that it seems to move in an animalien fashion. open flowers.
close flowers. fan tails. tui. wood pigeons are eel bait. eels are
hooked and smoked. the stars pierce the atmosphere uninhibited here.
it's all backwards and upside down. you can't find the same
constellations down here. if it weren't for the milky way to keep you
grounded on earth the sky might even look alien.

a boarding house would be ok too i guess. home is where ...

i got a job in a liquor store. i schlep booze to 18 year olds all day
long. it's legal and all. i move pallets around. i stack boxes and
crates of beer. i front all the bottles on the shelves. i restock the
wines. i make deliveries all over town. i help people get on the piss.
