Care While Shifting Poem by Douglas Scotney
Care While Shifting
Though 'orgasm' meant
just 'erection' to the Greeks,
the English had no problem
with shifting its meaning to just
the spasm.
There's a problem with calling 'colonisers'
'kikuyu' though, after the grass
with despised, invasive roots -
kikuyu
are a people of Kenya too.
