The Imagine Nation
When asked where I am from
I no longer mention my country
by name because people will
soon enough realise that my
accent is the noun, not a verb.
I come from a place where
daydreams are never interrupted
by darkness because it’s a marriage
of preoccupation with nonconformity.
Curiosity gives an illusion of genius,
insight and resourcefulness are the
true collaborators of artistic invention.
Panache cannot be consumed.
