Poem

Early to rise
late to lay,
business minded people
who barely slay;
best of friends with traffic
who make their day.

Clicking show glasses of Ghana bons
with schoolers ready to buy;
Athletic traffic sellers who could
catch up a bus at 120

A metropolis
coloured with yellow molue and danfo buses
whose drivers are as audacious as the day;
chain smokers with throaty voices
impatient with co-commuters
when they cry "Mile2 Mile2!"

Energetic touts with special anthem
"owo mi da?"
Grubby fighters in yellow
ready to engage any fellow.

Happy market women in their sizes
buying and selling in faded wrappers
in loud cries of "langbe jinó o"
and hilarious children replying "I get belle o!"

Impatient road users in their dusty trekker shoes,
almost bumping into one-way bikers
who would often holler "oloriburuku oshi!"

Loud jaiye jaiye gbedu
with dragging notes
from roadside DJs 
who are live for the party
and on Saturdays for the couples

A city with anaconda queues at banks
with sweaty odours from co-standers.
