We want what we say
And every last Joe must listen
Last count, I’d...

MY NEIGHBOR KOFI
LOCATION: Mazamaza, Lagos, Nigeria:
My neighbor kofi, 
The computer scientist
At 34,

I read and write and speak Français,
All my suits, and shirts, and shoes are custom-made.

A house on Acapulco Bay

Acapulco

I’d love to go down to the sea again,
The sea and the Holiday Inn,
Where some of the guests are awfully fat,
And others are awfully thin,
Where the average age is a hundred and four,

Marijuana sommelier,
A marijuana or weed expert.
A Mary Jane professional.
Someone happy 
to let the grass grow.
Not a junkie or druggie,

Though Italy has wine

London, Dublin,...
