Becoming The Muse

Of Coffee With Sapatina

If you were having coffee with me, I would welcome you to my tangle of words… feel at home, have some coffee or tea, maybe you prefer something that angels would eat?

Do Angels eat? And If so, what?
Nothing with wings. I assume.

I remember a dialogue from The Sandman, when the librarian is trying to figure out how to cater for their celestial guests… and someone quips that “I have been told when you cook them, they taste like chicken.” There must be something about chicken; most meat dishes are likened to tasting just like chicken.

If you were having coffee with me, I would tell you that sometimes chicken is treated as a meal for special occasions but on account of being one of the cheaper meal options compared to others, it’s the most common part of dinner menus. Regardless of its mixed vibes status, fast food chicken seems to hold a certain allure, as if a spell was cast over it to it irresistible, people have been known to co-sign nonsense, sell their votes, humanity and even their very souls, for some fried chicken.

A new slang word has been making the rounds on the streets “sapatina” which is used in reference to something so good it’s almost divine, it could be a scrumptious meal or just an all round good thing. Made famous by a gentleman who was filmed giving a running commentary, while enjoying a takeaway chicken from a popular fast food franchise at the State House.

“Sapatina sapatina kudya kwe ngirozi” which translates to sapatina sapatina food for the angels. No one quite knows where the word sapatina comes from but some speculate its derived from saying Supper time dinner time supper dinner….

The viral video clip got to the attention of flamboyant and controversial businessman, with a penchant for giving lavish gifts and he bestowed a Toyota Fortuner and $10 000 for fuel and another $10 000 for him to enjoy sapatina…  So you can see how the word has become embedded into everyday usage.

If you were having coffee with me, I would tell you that people have questioned the source of wealth for the businessman who frequently gives away cars . He has been implicated as being part of zvigananda the machinery that plunders national resources by Comrade Bombshell Geza.

Speaking about Comrade Bombshell, the Protest March that was scheduled for Friday the 17^th of October did not amount to much, it was business as usual, although amidst a heavy police presence to maintain peace.

Meanwhile at the just ended Congress for the ruling party they passed the motion to extended the president’s tenure to 2030 and plans to amend the constitution to reflect thusly. The constitution states that a president can only serve for two 5-year consecutive terms and 2028 would mark the end of the president’s term, but his party seeks to extend his term by two years.. Its unclear what would happen beyond 2030 but party supporters have long since chanted the mantra that the president would still be there in 2030.

Of course the president himself has not openly made a comment about his intentions beyond saying that he would honour the constitution but of course as a listening president if the people want him to still be there well that’s the people’s decision right?

If you are having coffee with me I would tell you that once again the power utility company has announced maintenance of its perpetually in-maintenance equipment, so that means we should brace for load-shedding or rather just more of the same…

Whats been happening in your neck of the woods? Who knew people actually robbed the Lourve? I thought that only happened in the movies.
