Africa Month [REV.]

“DAC staff requested to attend launch of Africa
Month on Friday 24 April 2015, bring own lunch
and do wear traditional attire”, oh dear, my tea in
a flask lunch won’t be very exciting - traditional
attire can only be my wedding dress & at present
I’m too midline-exuberant to fit into it - like my

More sedate colleagues I’ll be wearing usual
working clothes, boring in the extreme, maybe
I can borrow a suit from my son, or beloved -
that ought to be fun, just exchanging everyday
boredom for something new’d add glamorous
glitz to a normal event: it can inspire seeking

Traditional attire; with my heart aglow I let the
world know my desire to fulfil a vow to dress
appropriately, maybe find a tie recess-deep in
cupboards seldom explored - I suppose with
this ideal I won’t be bored listening to music,
poetry & odes to Africa being the very best -

my head like electricity flowing from the sun’s
corona in filaments to form currents, proof of
an electric universe we live in where truth vies
against establishment unwillingness to let go
of the sun as a nuclear reactor - which will

Eventually lead to burn-out - but don’t let me
fry my brain out with inexplicable theories on
the Internet, my main object is to invite a little
Alien in my head to join in preparation for
our launch of 24 April Africa day….
