you know about the

nature of man/woman?

yes?

but then why do you

fight your brethren/friend/

neighbour/husband/wife/

partner/teacher/facilitator/

educator/local authority/

country/state?

are you a rebel without a

cause?

a marlon brando imitator?

she said: ”i’m with you

together for fifty years

but i don’t know you.”

the poet heard these kind

of sentences quite often

when attending literary

workshops in jo’burg.

whenever he met a couple

these questions remained

as if chiselled into tablets of

female counterpart who

of creative writing

he suddenly flowered artistically

in a literary spring

she jumped into with him and

wondrous things did happen

in this spring/summer of a-z
