Ghosts Of Lagos by tunjilana: 8:01pm On May 01, 2018 |
Departure hugs are some sorta crazy wish Can’t drag your feet, can’t turn all the lights on It is 4 am, ghost mode on, sort self and evaporate You gotta keep the sleeping populace asleep. 1 ghost, 2 ghosts, another ghost, some other ghost The desire for bread, drives them all into the street. Identified by walking patterns, body shapes Plate number, headlamp, never names nor facial looks The record keeper sleeps not Signed you out at 10:30 pm, clocks you in at 4:30 am The scratches on its tar, those ones you call potholes Those cracks on its pillars are evidences of our cyclic struggles. Plug in the earphone; try to make sense of the beats Create a different reality, drift away, sleep surely comes Dreams def comes, come true? Maybe, maybe not. You gotta come through, show up to know. Work’s on repeat, forever looping It is mayday, all ghosts are home. Keep the body rested, spirit awake Happy worker’s day. |
