Abstract

This poem is part of the text of a song for the thumb piano recorded from a !Kung Bushman in Ngamiland, western Botswana, in 1971. !Kung is the name of one language group among many Bushmen language groups. The !Kung refer to themselves as Zhu/twasi 'regular people, 'real people', or 'just people' (as in 'it's just me'). Since the word bushman has become pejorative, I shall use the word San, a Hottentot (Khoikoi) term meaning 'food-gatherers' to refer in general to Bushman groups.
