introduced in 1967 in VR-3000 Portable Quadruplex VTR by Ampex
I am trying to rerail my life with a lonely flight to a 100mile view of Giyani
Nearly half a days drive to get past Tzaneen!
I have Tom Waits-ed myself past the dead dog on the high way through Sandton
And I’m now Pat Metheney-ing past the tripping goat jay-walkers of Limpopo
It’s pink cosmos borders on the road
Maybe left by the gazes of countless backseat children.
The flaring cat-hisses through my window; jousters with no interest in my destination.
They’re helping.
The million zionist pilgrims of Moria.
More pilgrims passing pilgrims in opposite directions.
And all this under a Panama hat with a fold of money in my jeans.
