I want to write

I want to write, not someday

I want to write about me and you

I want to write about this place

This place today, not tomorrow or someday

This place closer to the sea

With marble pillars and brick floors

Where the seagulls even read

NB

Inspired by Binyavanga Wainaina

Cover

the uncoverable

and eyes

not ice

will see

like lids

will allow

it out

its vapour will cool

to lie like a pool

 Be happy when alone and still achieving results. Wish not for the crowd or to have anyone more.

Still make the noise. If you can, make it the more and be content when you touch a single soul.

Don’t stop them if they want to leave. Let them go, for like wild fire their stay can corrupt the few faithful minds left.

March on not like a chocolate soldier or cutting onions but like an ancient wine.

Appeal and never cry and beg, for good and precious things have their own buyers
