MANHOOD We rejoiced at the appearance of one chin strand We celebrated the appearance of pubic strands Alas! Our fathers respect we will command On the same pedestal we now stand Freedom was yearned for We desired loin-spasms of thighs Spasms that elicited incoherent babbles Activities forbidden for youth our age And then life opened its doors to us. Debts Rents Hoofing bosses Bills of all shades Shaving sticks Ordinations and fraternities Now, my cravings mope at me I crave to pick udara on a cold and hazy harmattan morning I crave to cook soups in discarded Vegfru tins Do I even know how to play the game of “swell” anymore?” But my son doesnt know faith Nipples and noodles are what he knows Sleeping and pooing are what he does Cuddling and playing give strength to his bones And jealousy wells in me when I watch him sleep © Emeka Nobis, November 26, 2014
