...and also the fun
of jumping buses, and
the loud merriment of life
for those who give the finger
to the pandemic of glaring poverty.
Lagos task the soul
with its toil and its
cacophonous mirth:
the hoots are melodious;
and let LASTMA catch me if it can!

Tis sunrise in Lagos.
Ouch!
The screams,
The hoots of horns,
The stench of the lagoons,
The patrols
Of the goons
Of officialdom.
