“Uh…..g’day, mate,” Josh sputters awkwardly. The copper, whose badge reads 'Officer Nixon', eyes Josh with a bit o’ malice in those baby blue eyes of his. “You a Yank?” “Uhhh….I’m a Josh!” our ‘hero’ replies, then smiles stupidly (the only way Josh smiles, by the way).“Whaddya want?” “Uhhhhh…..I forget now….”The cop, glaring angrily, advances on Josh. “You on drugs or something?” “Don’t do drugs….do hugs! Oh! Oh! Oh! Now I remember, uh, why are we here?”The cop now stands nose to nose with Josh “What is this, some kind of existential bullsh*t?” “I’m a lost man in a lost world, sir”“Oh Christ,” the cop drones, spitting at Josh’s feet. “What are you, some kind of whiney little philosophic fairy boy? Why don’t you go jump in the Swan!” Josh tilts his head to the side and gets a distant look in his glossy eyes. “The Swan?” “The Swan River you bloody idiot! What are you, stupid?”Josh has to think about that one. “The lobotomy helped with my psycho-fits, the Staircase Room doctors told me. Swan River…..you mean the Derbal Yerrigan?” The cop’s face turns red as he pulls out an old fashioned billy club. “You getting smart, Yank?”“I thought you said I was stupid!” “I asked if you were stupid!!! I oughta…” “Speaking of swans,” interrupts our man of the hour, “I can do the swan dance! Wanna see!?”The cop, now slightly frightened, takes a step back. “Uh….that’s okay, mate.” “No! Seriously! Watch!” And with that Josh prances about fancifully, with slow graceful strides. Quite impressive, really. “Goobak ark merlork!” comes his soul chilling cry.
