The city is Perth, Australia. The stories are real enough.

Reality begins with the first retelling. Memory snips around stories...   Intercity distance. We know the globe as a patched work of countries...   Born running. Darling machines we live with...   A poem about pedestrians. There are no footprints in the City...   A superhighway of faces. I bus to Perth / must cost less...   The looking-glass city. Winter passed in procession, rapid...   How does your city grow? High walls: the weeded gardens...   A story about streets. Long ago, before the first cities were built...   Eulogy for the twin towers. Bound for the new world...   Conditions of tenure. Unlike happiness, you can't buy a home...   Return to Hand Written...
