Wiskunde (mathematics): a poem by Antjie Krog
Created 2 years ago · 6 comments· 0 likes

Elke dag sterf ek 35 minute lank
vasgetangens in my bank
en voor die bord boer
'n iemand wat my wiskunde voer.
Gevra: Trek lyn AB en vind dan C.
Bewys: Ek trek AB
Ek konstrueer 'n middelloodlyn
op... verby die sterre
en vind C
alleen.
Op Pythagoras sit hy kruisbeen
en ween, en ween
so hél alleen.
I die 35 minutes every day
sh@ckled to my desk
and at the board someone loiters
feeding me my mathematics.
Required: Draw line AB and then find C.
Proof: I draw AB
I construct a center perpendicular
up... beyond the stars
and find C
alone.
On Pythagoras it sits, cross-legged
weeping, weeping
so very alone.

A delightful poem by Antjie Krog, am glad for the translation as my concentration gets lost sometimes reading Afrikaans as I get too held up trying to decipher meaning in a sentence and lose track of the overall. I nearly wept when she found C (humour mixed with a tinge of forlorn and an unexpected end in such a short snip - brilliant)
