outside the makeshift camp
in uncommonly high spirits
sat an ageless greasy *****
with a song for the drunken
said the enigmatic *****
'can i get one if i want one?'
'you can get two if you want to'
the ***** with the huge eyes
waxed lyrical and melancholic
and, shaggy heads together
in wry musing and pondering
they asked what it was, really, that
floored them so very permanently
in uncommonly high spirits
sat an ageless greasy *****
with a song for the drunken
said the enigmatic *****
'can i get one if i want one?'
'you can get two if you want to'
the ***** with the huge eyes
waxed lyrical and melancholic
and, shaggy heads together
in wry musing and pondering
they asked what it was, really, that
floored them so very permanently
TRAGICALLY SOMETIMES, WE EXPEND SO MUCH TIME AND ENERGY ON USELESS THINGS. CLUELESS, WE CONTINUE TO SEEK, NEVERTHELESS.
THIS IS THE FINAL VERSION.
THIS IS THE FINAL VERSION.
(Gweru, Zimbabwe)
