Busy transacting online
paying bills, tax, premiums,
transferring money. I do a remittance
to my overseer who we call R
My mobile rings, R’s name
flashes on the screen. He says
he has not received. I scream
” Damn sure, I have done it”
Some eight hours away
he tells me the same, For the
first time, I feel unsure.
Verifying the remittance,
Oh! bless me! I have
sent the money to another
whose name starts with R.
Ashamed, I talk to the second R
who transfers the money at once.
I slip and commit errors too often.
Why do I do?
