with deep regret,
i wipe my face
with the thirteenth hanky

this cautions me
to value what i have
if i do not want to lose it

OH!
What do i eat as vegetable soup?
5gramme Okazi, 2gramme Ugwu, 3gramme OZIZA
1LITRE CARBON MONOXIDE

What do i feed into my system?
roast maize
plus a certain amount of urea
from amnother man's system.

What do i do when i want furniture?
i remember to cut a tree
and forget to plant another

What do u do when you r done with a wrapped up biscuit?
you stand in front of the trashcan
and dispose of the wrap on the walkway

and now,
we have more abundant sunshine
in the season of rains
and what do i need now more than ever?
the UMPTEENTH hanky.
