EYEBALL-TO-EYEBALL

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I don’t like winged animals
They’re too petty for me
They sniff at the wrong times
And snore when they don’t have to
Their hair is always messy and disheveled
They are unkempt and unshaven
And carry about red roundish eyeballs in the wrong sockets
They do that all the time
That’s why my parish priest at Bolifamba is fond of saying
The Lord is good all the time
All the time the Lord is good.
