purchase

I then transferred to Dallas Texas.
My host family in Dallas were rich.
We had a pet heifer in the back yard.
We also had a great dane called Babe.
Heifers and great danes were fashionable.
Australians were also fashionable.
My host father in Dallas tried to negotiate with my dad
in Melbourne.
He asked "Could we please purchase Andrew?"
A few months later when I returned to Melbourne, my
father, Tom, died of lung cancer.
The oil wells in Dallas groaned, Ethyl hid behind the
woods, and the pixies in the Altona refineries sighed.
Texas was God’s own country.
Capitalism was God’s own penis. I was in the middle.
