PERSON Poem: pancake, by Tshegofatso Joshua Rapetsoa

Those rectangular shaped glasses,
analysing audiences
and countless apparatuses,
sitting proudly atop your nose bridge.
As they view life from
an alternate paradigm.

Your mind speaks
as fibonacci leaks
words with shrieks
and cyber-freaks stare
at the image you paint
with your metaphorical sword.

Wisdom beyond recognition
that dances in the exposition
of a story that faces demolition
as you face the pretermission
of your mistakes,
yet rise as valedictorian

A smart nut
with a hard head
A river
with no dead-end
A road
without a bend

Don’t be afraid
to let me clean
those crocodile teeth
of yours.
