conflict of distance

Sometimes I can't believe all these people down there
all Australian, having dinner when we should be asleep,
taking their summer with Christmas, mounting their globes
all upside-down, damn. How do you even stay on? I just want
to once, ask one of them out to dinner at a reasonable hour and have her
(oh ok guys - OR YOU, but, well, you know, for the sake of the scenario?) her
show up fresh and rested, hungry for something other than breakfast

and have the GOD DAMN PATIENCE

to wait

until we're through sunning ourselves at the beach
to open her Christmas presents!

The whole thing presents
a conundrum
in mind, and I suspect, not
only. Or,
the only one.
But I guess it's fine

That's what makes the world go flat,

in these trying and changing and flying

times.
