Surely July: Apropos, #7

By Michelle de Villiers

Surely July is the seventh bundle in the Apropos: Epic Poetry series. In this time of COVID, misinformation and seemingly ever-increasing chaos and lies, a stoic would recommend that one accept the moment as is, without complaint. Not even the Word Of The Day can universally be agreed upon, but we can employ them in any way we wish! Stoically, using the Pomodoro technique, at the crack of dawn. Surely, the WODs were selected by emotionless, advanced AI algorithms, taking cognisance of all the happenings in our world, unaffected by pleasure or pain. Poetically uniting them seemed subjunctively humorous.

Michelle de Villiers

I  scribble , dribble and doodle. I sculpt in clay for bronzing; paint anything under the sun; write children’s stories and illustrate them. I read a lot. When I’m not in the studio covered in paint; working on a new picture story; doodling cartoons, or reading; I reluctantly go to the gym. (In the basement, now!) Or travel to far-off places. (BC)  I once lived in a rainforest. Once upon a time I worked as an engineer on secret projects. And also underground in a gold mine. I have a lot of Neanderthal DNA. Relatively speaking. I can wiggle my ears. I have two cats.
