Aphra

        one way or another
        she has her ties with Africa
        a mountain biker and rock climber
        simply a modern American woman
        always loving her past boyfriends
        and never the present one
        she went through college in jeans
        now she dresses for work
        like she was instructing professional models
        professionally, like so many of us,
        she contributes to the computer technology
        with little enthusiasm
        she enjoys handling her camera
        the pictures she takes
        allow us to see the sceneries
        through her eyes
        making the scenes fascinating
        something got messed up inside her
        she'll have her baby now or never
        she has to count her blessings
        in the deep shadow of overwhelming mountains
        one way or another
        she always keeps her ties
        with Africa
