Mapping (June)

It’s hardly Winston Churchill eyeing little flags along the German rivers, down in his war room. It’s Tony Abbott, gawping over a chart of outlying suburbs with some circles drawn on it. When someone was killed at Rosanna station during morning peak hour the line stopped. Google maps told us the street to take the girl for the emergency school car network. The maps help me to choose where in my garden to read my biography of Alan Turing or a new translation of Rumi. Last week of June, last week of school: the girls were in class by 8.30.
