SINGING ON THE SAME SPOT

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

Don`t bother
Don`t even think about it
I`m not just imitating Brother Joseph in my class
Although I also called him Njoh
I am making a point
A strong point about Benson burners
Dissected frogs
Peering students
Reprimanded prefects
Sedimentary rock samples
Iron filings
Anopheles mosquitoes
Limps of rotten mushrooms
Sprouting hibiscus flowers
And golden rings
Pulled from pigs` nostrils.
