“I sat listening to The Wall and felt this on many an evening. Most things seemed depressing and unjust and I saw no end to them. But then this phase passed. As suddenly as it had come. And nowadays I hardly give it a thought. Nowadays I’m as hard up as most people in Africa, I suppose. I live from hand to mouth. I’m a hunter-gatherer. I spend just as much time fetching water as your average African. If I’m very thirsty I might dip my bottle in the marsh up here, but the water is brown and stagn...ant and must have been here for a thousand years, so I prefer to go to one of the streams in the area. But you can’t rely on streams. At times they dwindle to nothing and I can’t collect water in any practical way. Nowadays I’m the one who’s in Africa, I muse. In a sense, I’m under-developed, apart from my organ which is more on the over-developed side, and while the world around me may consider that I need help, I’m proud, just like Africa, and I would prefer to cope on my own.MoreLessRead More Read Less
