Father and son at a road crossing. A poem by Kennedy Musumba

Find this video poem in my YouTube Channel @kenmusumba The relationship of father and son in an ever-evolving society can sometimes seem like trying to get across to that other side. Whereas at some time in the past, the pedestrian road crossing was designated the plain white and black pattern, branded across the road surface, or was at a random point where the application of the doctrine of "look left and then right, till all is clear" would suffice, today, to go across to the other side is at a point designated with coloured traffic lights; a point of the technicolor zebra! Today's father is further and further from those once upon a time pedestrian places accorded with the plain black and white on the tarmac canvas, and from the random provisions of the look-left-then-right doctrine. Instead, there is a vicious parade of lights after lights after lights, sprayed all along the corridors of passage! The poem is written in the manner of a play within a play whereby the metaphors of a road crossing, and of a cup of tea between father and son, interact in an interplay alongside numerous other instruments, to enact modern intricacy of getting across to the other side. In the end, on any afternoon, "all across the board, this cup of tea is taken and has been going on way past half past two!"
