“Who will unlock must first himself be locked.
Who will be locked must first himself unlock.”
– Martin Carter, Words (1957)
Told to cross only where the globe is thick
islanders tiptoe, testing . crack ‘n’ sink | hot
night ‘n’ day . is hard to follow ice chip^
melting signs.
If memory serves influencers surface back
up every 100+ years, gathering : Confucius

We^them pronouns ? seriously cap lock^
licks of belief.
……………………….
Hoping to live in peace ‘n’ praxis with the world
island wombs choose vaginal home birth,
gifting the foetus family^first toes; high
chair^fed for life.
Where how when to crash land flow
calls for ocean tracts only souls risk^
ready or not on foreshore swells rehearse.
…………………….
At the Ogun Whagwan? bypass Ta Ta
Bipti feels the pan yard . stokers eyeing up
set on fire her Mandir mate holdings.
She have she ways but you know!
Stepping outside 4^past midnight Put
some trousers on, man ! you never know
some warner woman clutching a bamboo
crucifix U turns for you Aie aie aie!

Thomasson’s pregnant doubt was aborted by
The shouts of two small boys playing with pebbles
On a patch of dust surrounded by stubble:
– Aye, pink Fada! Yo, schooteacha sah! The priest
Was in no mood for their enthusiastic
Mocking of his passing otherness, so kicked
A dried owara-seed in their direction
(So much for mingling with the ffflock). If only
His nightmarish daydreams were visionary,
He might become that colonist who believes
He’s doing the best for conquist-adored lives.
