Or should that be “Moora wormhole”. I heard someone describing Moora once. I think they said that the place was a fucking wormhole, or something… This is an excellent worst from the country via Stirling Idea who also threatens to send some more public sculpture. I love signs like this. I see litter offends, but not a duality of existence. Some sort of Schrodinger’s cat stuff happening. Thanks Stirlo.

At first blush I Paul Nurry CAN be in two places at one time. The sign was obviously, let me say at the outset, designed at first blush for me. No-one is more of an expert at being in two places at one time than I Paul Nurry. My arse might be in Apex Park, while my head could still be rounding the corner of Clinch Street. My body let me say at the outset could be shambling down Seaforth, while in my dreams and fantasies I could be a block away on Cameron Street. Or even Kampala.

Aw good gawd, fucking Moora…my first “true” love (nearly two DECADES ago! Fark! Where, o where, did they time fly?) hailed from this hive of vibrancy. I think she must’ve been on short-term loan to the town, as she was no bumpkin and obviously itched to leave behind the limited prospects of such a town by having a boyfriend (i.e. me) from the Big Smoke. The options there for young ladies are to either marry a farmer’s son, get a local government job or early single motherhood.
I won’t reveal anymore details to protect the anonymity of those concerned, but all I can is more’s the pity that we didn’t work out, for the was much I really appreciated (well, at least as a seventeen year-old, as I was then!) about her, but it was probably for the best anyways.

Sorts the wheat from the chaff. Even in the Central Midlands, which is the region that Moora is the main town, where in addition to wheat there’s barley, lupins, canola & sheep.
Should keep away passing jokers, so I can handle moderation. The only drawback is the lack of instant gratification, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Originally, I met her through her sister, as it was the latter who, at first, was hot for me! But I didn’t get involved with both, yet if was that way inclined, yeah, I could have loved her (with a little help from the younger sis) two times simultaneously. Knowing where one of them would end up years from then, well…I’m sure there could well have been some accommodation.
Mind does boggle at the prospect. Regrets, no regrets…? Hmm…

Last time I drove to Moora, about nine years ago, I made the decision to finally let go and made a little ceremony of it, by putting most of the mementoes into a small bonfire and taking the ashes of those torched items to a favoured spot there, strewn to the earth.
In the end, it just ashes. Ashes. Burned to almost nothing.

I have been a bit circular, a touch “Norwegian Wood”-like in an allusive fashion. I was trying to tie in the doubled-up “you are here” in Moora with the romance I had with the older sister of someone I met a fair while ago, of whom both hailed from the selfsame town. I was continuing the dual theme, insomuch as that the younger, who initiated our meeting and who had a bit of a thing for me, but later I was attracted to her older sibling. And I was trying to be subtle in stating that she went on to pursue a vocation in the “entertainment” industry and may have sufficiently broad-minded (or longing) to accommodate me all the while, if I was so inclined, of which I certainly wasn’t. I just don’t want to narrow things down any furtherer, y’know what country towns can be like. I’ll just leave it at there, to keep those concerned reasonably anonymous. That’s all.
