After being threatened with old Afrikaans translations to be
redone as an exercise for me - an illiterate as far as one-to-

Portuguese delight, savoured each idea, rechecked every
legal line - if a moments leisure means I’ve to do projects I
relish even less than regulations, I’ll devote my attention

devouring my energy, and thus have to work hard to find
Exciting things to rekindle my flagging interests, I cannot
ever tell; fact is - I have to eat & drink to fill empty moments
devoted to emotionless, without passion, boring & saddening
research - I chewed my way through peanuts & popcorn today
to complete my document; if I didn’t have allergies, who can
tell where I might have been: a cabaret star, a teacher, a
Fortune-teller - but no, with the problem of flagging energy, I
ended up in this pedantic profession where I shock everyone
claiming we should shoot the messenger; why let any single
individual have a joy of spreading tales of tragedy, or losing
