GAP STOPPER

For Kevin Nnoko Mbelle

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I`m not a gaffer
I`m a stalker on stilts
I stalk pregnant eggs on four legs
And stubborn girls hopping on pegs.

If I was just a slacker, believe me
I would, in one day, run around waving quilts
Then, Noko Mbelle`s world would reveal its kegs
And the universe would know all along he had firm legs.
