tonight out on the scene
in Durban a city
that is cultivated integrated
where Africans Europeans
Indian and Asian
mix together its great
we all eat from the same plates
the African dream
but we don’t like our cuisine
so we eat Italian linguine
fromaggio cream
pesto pasta
and drink vino blanco
not white
while on the pavement
the ladies of the night
strut their stuff
their act is tough
to follow
lithe willow
dressed in leopard skin
bangles and beads
their hips lead men’s eyes
down and up
around bosom sublime
bring them more wine
we watch as they walk
stalk
but then the phone rings
and men talk
hello darling
yes I’ll be home…
soon…
