Superstitions

//Superstitions// I grew up to know; // // // // That a pregnant woman mustn't be on street in the middle of a sunny day, for the foetus her stomach houses might be swapped for spirits from ancestral world. That a grown up lad that bedwets should pay twilight homage to an upright tree & twist butts in its presence. That to trip over your left leg tells /dooms/red light/misfortune/& bad luck/ &whenever I smash my right feet o'er an hidden root,it's positivity & goodluck. That when a star rushes down & vacate the sky, it's a proverbial way of telling us 'bout the exit of an hero. That ghosts find ways out of their beds & come home each thursdays,visiting their households & foods should either be sprayed outside or placed in, uncovered ! That whoever urinates in river has ignorantly dared Oluweri's wrath &attendees at his ceremonies shall be drenched by violent downpour. That mothers that die aren't dead, They loiter around,watching after their fruits. That a sudden weird wave in the ear drum is an evil call from the terrestrial world.
