Let me tell you a story...
I spent some time in Africa.
But I’m no Isak Denisen -
I wrote no memoir.
I remember the big big sky
and beautiful people.
I remember nshima
and the Toyota truck
that I drove on the
wrong side of the road.
(Yes, this is as terrifying
as you might imagine.)
I remember wondering
how I came to be wearing
that missionary mask
and I remember the care
with which I stored it
when I came home.
This is a Magpie Tale. Please head here to read other tales.
