“Gossip”

by SOMA students and instructors

That’s Gossip over there,

resting on the leaves of the marula.

She buzzes like a mosquito,

sucks your blood–

You become thin like her.

Gossip spreads like a bush fire;

I cannot see for the smoke.

Go to Gloria’s house–you will find Gossip there.

She has a pet Gossip.

Be careful when you speak in her presence–

her ears are as large as an elefant’s!

Once you touch her, you cannot let go.

Be warned.
