Big pot:
Hey big basket!
The cloud is heavy
and pregnant
Giving me fresh
water for my master’s use
Where are you
keeping yours?
Big Basket:
What do you mean?
I have many roles
to play
You should know.
Big Pot:
Know
what?
Big Basket:
That
I’m not to hold water
But
to serve the master in my purpose.
Making
him happy in my duties
At
the exact time that he wants me to work.
Big Pot:
Ah Ah Ah Ah!
Look at him, Porous
servant
What exactly is
your duty?
Can you hold water
as I always do?
Can’t you just quit
life and die?
Big Basket:
Look at you
You are so pompous
in your ignorance
As of me:
My usefulness is in
my strength,
Not in my weakness
Big Pot:
I am waiting
Still waiting to
see what you can do
If indeed you are
useful
You this useless
servant
And purposeless
foe.
Big Basket:
My time is in the harvest
period
When I will be
carrying harvest from the farm
Never get too much
excitement
Because you’ll cook
the harvest I bring from the farm
And you’ll get
fired.
I mean fire.
Seye Joseph
