Ibadan
The place of my dreams
The beautiful wife I keep fantasising her welcome.
The reality of imaginations in pandemic world.
A shore of possibility amidst impossibilities.
Ibadan
The thirst that itches the throat to the coolness of your well water
The parade of chocolate micras from Challenge to Mokola.
The wall of Jericho around Bodija.
The carpet of tar from Ashi to Adamasingba.
Ibadan
My soul is calm to breathe your air
Like the reincarnation of an Abiku that is un relentlessly your heir
Even if it is for the ridiculousness of your fare
I’m glad to tell you I’ll die here.
O.O.D.
