LOCATION: Mazamaza, Lagos, Nigeria:
My neighbor kofi, 
The computer scientist
At 34,
He crisscrossed, jetcrosed, redcrossed,
And hobnobbed around the globe:
Kathmandu, Acapulco and the Galapagos 

He dined and wined
Like there was no tomorrow 
He dined and wined...

Fear of Tremor
The day in the mid of twelve
I was on mid road and felt dizziness in head 
Thought arose a fit of sugar
Compelled to lie down kneeling the earth

The sun drenchs and heat soaks the air.
It throbbs with fumes.
The drivers of the three wheeled, canvas covered
taxi’s curse, beep, and press
their way between motor cycles
with garishly clad riders.

Males in western-style helmets 
drive women, dressed...

But I listened when he...

Popping up like temple gardens in Kathmandu
No wonder there's...

After a lovely hot shower I dried.
As the steam cleared I was forced to blink,
I just dropped the blue towel and cried
And I then wiped the mirror and sighed.

If I stare at the blank page long enough
Words will appear,
Words written in black ink, not mollified.
The words will grow together
Like grass forming a sod.

Then, as if on cue,
Spoons dance,
And horseshoes have wings.
A very short...

If I were an elephant
I know just what I'd do
I'd pack my trunk with all my junk
And move far from the zoo

I'd bring with me my monkey
Best friend and sidekick Preston
If memory correctly serves me
He's...

Or better yet take over Isle of Man

To meet the friends we’ve only met online
Mingle with the poets we all admire

The world is a sea of gigantic aquarium 
Of immeasurable acreage;
With eclectic species of humans:
Coal, Amber, Snow and Bronze;
365 score days in the whale's gut,
Junketing from Kolkata, Kalamazoo, Kathmandu,

Hustling, jostling, ...
