Fly


It was a glaring moment
Eyes locked on mine
A bullseye won't be rare
I was handcuffed by their stare 
What if you fall, boy?
What if you fail?
... But hey, 
What if I fly?

QUARAN-TIME

Maybe all we were doing was run away From ourselves, from our breaths. From our truth. "I’m too busy.  I don’t have time even for myself." Our slang of excuse. The moments pass by, Sunrise, s unset,  We missed them all. The compliment from the chubby neighbour next door, The HAVE  A  SMILEY  DAY signage on the trees shouldering the walkway, The blush from a crush after you curl a smile, The lazy karaoke songs we could have sang with friends in the parlour The Friday night charades and the Monday morning parades, We could have been excited about. We missed them all. Now we have nowhere to go. You don’t have time now huh? Maybe this was for a reason. Maybe this was all we needed.

Tell me you felt good after you told everyone about her ugly truth just to win the argument. They will grow rusty someday and not care anymore like they used to. And  that will be no fault of theirs. We all want someone to be there for us We all want someone to hold our hands and never leave We all want someone to shout our names out in the park just to fly a wave. We want someone to put up with us as we are Without consciously working on ourselves to upgrade But we...

The Call

"Why don't you just go the normal way: sit at home, watch TV and trouble won't find you. You always have a seminar on your calendar, a music event to attend. There's always something to do with you."  Daddy's favourite slang. I do understand him though. We have been through a lot in the past few years. Any responsible parent will do same; protect their wards against the stench of society. The news has us all in our safety wears. We slip into our overalls, finger the gloves and boot those feet. The helmets are never forgotten on the dusty racks.Thought we said African germs were not harmful! Truth is, we can't be too careful, we can't be too safe. The next second is not promised. The next oxygen might evolve into a nitrogen molecule and choke on our bronchia. Or maybe, just maybe, the next blink might glue our eye lashes to our lower eyelids, blinding us for the rest of our lives. Or maybe if we had checked the fuel gauge one more time after the 1...
