Importent as a writer
As we start yet another week the heavens seem to be open to our prayers. The preacherman…
Again im thinking too much, instead of letting it come to me, im funneling it. What it is only heaven knows. My weekend was alright…did you miss me? Although I’m delaying attending to pertinent things im obliged to. It gets tired you know, gossiping about people. What does the word nomvula mean? Maybe im tired. Maybe I can’t write anymore. Maybe im impotent. Im going through writing impotence, my writing prowess is wilting away.

Im glad im not touching any woman’s buttocks on the train today. Good thing i came prepared.
This cute girl and her mom just stpeed on. Standing right in front of me I cant tell her that she cute, her mother is gonna want me to tell her the same too. My older women days are past me. Anyways, let me describe the situation for you. How do you tell a woman that her daughter is pregnant? Thanks autocorrect, how do you tell her that you might want to flee because you’re not ready to be a father yet? How do you tell a mother that she has a weird accent but thank god it got fixed in her daughter. How do you ask a woman if she has other cuties left in the bag? How well do you adjust to the awkward situation of lossless intimacy?
My mother is weird, it scares me that she still thinks im interested in working on cruise ships. She always on about, Mwanangu tora number dzasekuru vekuPoland unozoenda kunoshanda kuma cruise ships, kana ukatdza you will go kunoita truck driver. In return im like but mom i dont even have a drivers license let alone. My mom is so obsessed with me working outside of Africa she’s always calling me out on it. Iwe mwana wekwaMandizvidza akaenda kuUK, you too can go there. But mom i already have a business here, what else would i want in Europe that Cape Town won’t give me? Besides, in cape town i can work without having to worry about papers, South Africa is Zimbabwe now.
