The Moon
The moon was late in casting the shadow on the ground
As a result, she could not find her path
She blamed the moon and the moon said, “that was because the sun was late,”
So, she stayed up all night and waited for the sun to rise
In the morning she asked the sun, “why were you so late?”
He said, “I am the sun I decide when I would enter and exit.”
Further on he said, “in fact who are you to ask?”
She said, “I am the one waiting at the horizon.”
“Oh, I see, so you were the one who drew the line.”
Help! I am not God!
A Vacant Land
Last night I passed by a vacant plot
It wasn’t my house
Twenty-three years I saw the land
No structure could stand on it
The piece of land could not house a family
Since family could never sit on a vacant plot
Without fighting for more space
As we move around the house
No situations can be clearly defined
No space can be clearly marked
I am not always wrong
A Cat on the Sofa
I woke up and found myself surrounded by shoppers
And then I found my best friend Mimi
She meows at me instead of singing an opera
No the Mimi was gone
And now replaced by a sweet purr
I love cats! But cats do not love me
I do not meow in return anymore
Instead I look at them and say,
“Hey, I am not Mimi but your best friend Pearly”
If you sell your fat tail to me
I would be happy to make any consideration
On condition that you do not ask for more than a dollar
The Ideal Wife
You don’t have to cook for me
The washer will take care of all my clothes
I have the keys to come in
You need not wait up for me
“Then what am I here for?” she asked
“To make submissions,” he said
And then he opened the door
And walked into the bright sunlight
I heard the car engine
And instantly realized
That I am actually his car
At least I still have the certificate in the drawer
Am I worth only forty-one thousand dollars?
My Little Window
From my little window I look out
The rain has come
So I know that God likes me today
God saw that his children are tucked up in our blankets
Adam and Eve likes the garden
So let them be
For now, we still have plants
So that they can clothe themselves if they wish
The Time
They say that our lives are pre-destined
You have no choice over the route you take
Just pick up the pebbles along the way
And keep each one
Until you reach the end of the road
Like memories, it is the only worthy thing you carry
With you, until the end of time
The Love
Foolish words were said
Foolish acts were done
When we thought we had infinity
In fact we had only one tomorrow
Today was the day
When I wished it was yesterday
Life is long when we were short of love
But when love came
We had lost yesterday
The Soul
Don’t ask me to leave
I never wanted to stay
When the ship sails
I will be there
Together with all the livestock ….
And the people
Who were once strangers
I love this city
And all the other cities
Where do I come from?
This city of course
Am I going away?
My soul longs to be with my mate
Maybe he is onboard the ship
Or have I left him behind?
