The City

Joseph tends the garden Malan's house
On friday evening, Mr. Malan smokes his pipe and ands
Joseph his pay packet.
They discuss the roses.
Mrs.Malan has a parcel of nearly new clothes
for him and his family.
The Malan's children play around the pool.

Joseph's wife and child are five hundred miles in wazulu.
Joseph makes a cup of tea in the kitchen.
He takes it out to his concrete
shed at the back of the house.
He seets on his steel bed.
It is the weekend.
Tonight he will get drunk in a shebeen.
It will be many months until he sees his family.
It has been many months.
