I Wonder (a poem) 1976 Santa Cruz, Trinidad

Black Rock, Tobago 2010


 


 I Wonder

I wonder how long
it's going to be
before somebody asks me
my name?
   
I've been at this party
for 26 years
but no one is playing 
that game.

I wonder how long
it is going to take
for me to ask you 
to dance?

Or shall we just sit here
for thirty years more
parading our intelligence and class?

  1. Hmm, hope Trinis weren't so unfriendly to wait for 30 years to know you!

  2. lol! No. But it seems it takes about that long to get to know yourself, far less anyone else.
