I do declare
(once in a while)
as my day is done
shopping as it were
Once in a while
as I avoid the puffing
fruit and veg sellers
usually those men who
woman-cuss as a norm
Local is lekker
at an Internet cafe
where my PC gets
a dusting down
and outside I have
a pleasant catch-up
with a non-local
whom I buy fruit from
in these changed times
she has added masks
to her wares on sale
Local is lekker
at a cellphone shop
where I find a wire
linking my phone and USB
(it saves me a long walk
though an employee there
is disconcertingly unmasked
and I do my civic duty)
Local is lekker
in these changed times
Is it not
