African Lusophone Studies

I now obsess about Africa

go to bed thinking of the blogs

we might post

rambling

imagining

creating

figuring out

Africa in Portuguese

but in English instead

I obsess to the point

of drawing mental maps

of all of Angola

Cape Verde

S. Tomé maybe...

the trick 

is to set you

in the middle of each map

I obsess gloriously!

One of these days

I'll wake up speaking creole

and let them know

some of my own truth

about Africa in Portuguese

though truthfully its all in English

with you

in the middle of each map.
