Public and Private duet

Public
The Bush summer
Surely for everyone’s eyes,
Our Community

Private
This is not for you;
Time I want to be alone,
I will consume peace

Ah I figure these 2 need some explaining. This duet of Bush Haikus (or Bushaikus) comes from a conversation I had with the missus just the other day. We were lamenting the loss of the local Gilgandra cinema from when we were growing up. They showed local films, for us local people. It was a great way to catch up and see new art. But now it’s closed down and we certainly miss it- even though we both agree that we see better films now, and from the comfort of our own home! We hire, borrow and download any number of films (and TV shows) that we would never have seen back in the day.
But hey- I guess you don’t know what you’re missing when we don’t have the option

PS: I still miss seeing BMX Bandits on the big screen
