SUGAR-DADDY
SUGAR-DADDY
BY QUAZI JOHIRUL ISLAM
On the subway a white sugar-daddy
Whispers to a brown girl, you stay with me
I will pay your rent and bills, tuition fee
Don’t be a fool, to my bid, disagree.
I promise will take you to Broadway show
Full of joy and with happiness you'll grow
Cloud in her eyes, the river roars to be
Broken; uncertainty suddenly has
Found a piece of wood is floating on the
High tide; a new dream, she hears tune of jazz!
Life splashes on the high-end backyard pool
Did she jump on pool of joy or fire?
Immigrant girl doesn’t want to be fool
She touched the dream to let the qualm retire.
Holliswood, New York. 25 September 2019.
