Margaret Alice - 2010/06/01 Life Noisy (Rev.)

I freeze in a dark cavern of this house br my room the black hole of Kalkutta br swallowing me, my jeans icy against br skin, the sunroom only is bright br br but there’s no room for me and a book to br read, my beloved sun weak, like an old man br losing his powers, I cannot think br how did it come to this? br br Coldness of this house threatens, I want br to run and hide at work, legs not strong br enough to carry me, a prisoner feeling weak br only solution is to dream – br br Of brilliant sun in summertime, any dream br any wonderful fantasy, anything to escape br bleakness of today, the trenches infinitely br more interesting, with their casualties br br Voices that sing inappropriately – spirituals br and kwaito music, though I bristle in my seat, br I love energy, optimism, a voice calling “Ntsoaki” br and cell phones ringing br br Activities outlawed, we must live in quiet br solitude, a nunnery – luckily my colleagues br don’t agree and no amount of scolding can tame br their spirits, I plug a headset into my ears br br When I need to concentrate - life in that noisy place br is fun and games creating a feeling of grace!br br Margaret Alicebr br
