Goat meat goat meat goat meat!
Persistent sunlight over the savannah aa
dry desolate dust dancing over distance - a
woman’s woman sighing
swallowing “coulda-done” – moving on; I
want Goat meat Goat meat Goat meat!!
And in Nairobi the sidewalks ache
there’s too many people walking crushing cement maybe roots beneath
not enough sweepers,
dust rises coating stone buildings brown
Aii - So much struggle, toil, soul moaning Asi!!
Want Goat meat Goat meat Goat Meat!!!
Our foot stamps, prints rock beyond Nzaui,
in South Africa New York Tennessee
England Germany California Texas Ghana India
Tanzania Toronto Bangladesh Trinidad, Canada, Panama,
- everywhere we go, meet you, where you go after
seeking GOAT meat GOAT Meat GOAT MEAT –
So you too can endure little rain and lengthy travels
and smile, dance
believe.
