A man sitting on a park bench on the right side of the picture. He is in front of a lake. Further out there is a large water fountain and behind that a mountain with a telecom tower on it. The photo is in black and white.

Hey Siri, things to see in Canberra.

That thin rectangular magic of plastic and aluminium in your pocket is a soul sucking limpet with a sirens call and a lulling glow that zip-ties your attention and forges your thoughts.

Do you even know how to turn it off? Do you even dare?

Hey, Siri….show me some things to see in Canberra

Look up! you cloth-eared, dozy-eyed, pillock. Get up and walk around, or sit still and soak it in. Either way. Put your phone someplace where the signal don’t shine and stick your scrolling finger somewhere useful….the days are short and the night is long. Who knows how many updates you have left.
