when I saw 
a homeless man feeding pigeons
in a region 
known for corporate greed and high-priced religion
it had me prisoned for a moment
freezing in the cold wind
sprinkling the crumbs of what his stomach could be holding 
golden was the colour of his heart in that spectacle 
I guess the view
had me conscious of my shortcomings,
owning up to cases where my conscience was expected to
stand up 
but feet stumbled or preferred running.
moved 
I collected more evidence 
of how that small action was connected to a heavenness 
having less 
yet 
stretching in abundance
love is a magic to be flexed and be harnessed 
the garden of your compassion is ripe for harvest
farthest from all perfection yet regard this
as a call to play surgeon with unsteady palms
but I ignored, reset and carried on

I remain a slow dancer
(God speakin’ up)
(drums switchin’ up)
(thoughts interrupt)
(not living up)
(life getting tough)
(God give it up)
You gonn’ get the same answer
(I’m stubborn as ufck)
I remain a slow dancer

Fate chancer 
I throw die and I bet it all
no windfall wall cold on my spinal cord
faith tester
if I don’t die when heaven call
that small win means 
live this form till my final (inhale)
I don’t follow any scripture nor equation
when life hardens
I don’t slaughter for the ancients
I learnt to shapeshift in accordance to the current storm
torn tekkies 
dancing with the devil since a younger spawn
Maintaining balance people wondering which drugs I’m on
insane he hasn’t lost a marble many minds are gone
the trick is never tryin’ to sprint in a marathon 
keep a steady pace, never cross where the lines are drawn
slow your velocity 
that’s the philosophy 
ensure you watch your speed
in choreography 
I don’t mean you should follow in my footsteps 
the city ‘s mean and I doubt there’s many good left

Melatonin 
by Supah Mpondo and that hue experience 

V1:
Arrive late, leave sooner. 
Alright, that was great, see y’all in a few months. 
Off to hibernate; eating till I’m fuller,
hidden where it’s cooler
when sleeping I’m a drooler. 
Yawn, stretch, walk out the cave,
walk around town feeling awkward and strange ,
nothing much has changed except winter’s not here now,
lost as to what y’all did with time all year round. 
The sleeping giant off the orthopaedic. 
Author of dreams,
whose storylines and themes,
aren’t bounded by the ever gripping laws of physics. 
The limits of your sight are what blind you from a wider view. 
Morpheus don’t have enough pills,
two is too few,
what if Zion don’t appeal?
I am more drawn to traverse the in-between; 
machine steel drill chill wait to be mined. 
Mind: a reservoir of minerals
I got jewel waiting for the curious. 
They dug until the ceiling blew,
I broke bread wit’ em it was really cool. 

(laughs at the absurdity of his statement)

Alright,
to say ‘I broke bread with them’ is to humanise the experience. 
I mean, robots don’t partake in pastry.  

HOOK:
nye 
mbini

counting black sheep
tryina trigger that sleep

hella
melatonin juice

(Feeling that snooze)

V2:
Alarm clocks not needed,
any feathered animal that clucks please beat it,
I’m unavailable, the doors locked screens tinted 
dlalelani kude nala please children. 
Snuggly
bed bugs not bugging me
discovery 
of a world that is otherly
gotta leap
with your trust on the wind to
lift you
from the ground that’s beneath you
