“The Minister for Exams”
When I was a child I sat an exam. The test was so simple
There was no way I could fail.
Q1. Describe the taste of the moon
“It tastes like creation” I wrote,..”..”it has the flavour of sunlight”.
Q2. What colour is love?
“Love is the colour of the water a man
lost in the desert finds”, I wrote..
Q3. Why do snowflakes melt?
I wrote…”.. they melt because they fall
on the warm tongue of God”.
There were other questions. They were just as simple.
I described the grief of Adam when he was expelled from Eden.
I wrote down the weight of an elephant’s dream.
Yet today, many years later
For my living I sweep the street
…and clean out the toilets of the fat hotels
Why? Because constantly I failed my exams.
Why? Well…let me set a test..
