On Father In-Law
There was a lifetime wish;
that led me to time travel,
and it is that ; "
I wish to find a man
whom I will call father in-law.
Whom I will always love
his daughter so much.
Whose daughter will always
love me without cash.
Who will ask me to work with him
for a period of seven years
with no pay.
In order to give me a lifetime blessing,
'his daughter.'
In spite of the fact,
I will be way richer.
And he wouldn't ask me
to pay a dowry. Like father of Ziphora."

Author's Notes. November 7, 2017 near Juba, South Sudan. The Freeverse poem appeared first in a collection of aphorisms that I wrote on Facebook. The free verse is now on allpoetry.
