Work Overview
1: In Orbit
This was written wondering what it would be like to see the Earth
from space. It also serves as a hymn to the technology of
satellites that increasingly connect our humble human
communications.
2: Departure Lounge
Most commonly, this is at an airport. When travelling alone, this
can be a place to contemplate the state of one's existence while
trying to find the right angle to perch one's hand luggage as a
foot stool. But this can also be at a train station - and Sydney
Central boasts a (very) modest lounge for travellers waiting for
the night train to Melbourne.
3: In
Traffic
Statistics bear out that lane-swapping in heavy traffic to
maximise time and position is mostly a waste of time and
dangerous into the bargain. What's worse is nipping into the fast
lane on a slight opening, only for it to become the slow lane. My
advice? Take the bike or public transport.
