THE MAN WHO ATE PYTHON

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

(For Sammy Oke Akombi)

When a man eats python
It`s different from the woman eating it
The man steels himself against all forms of love
And goes out of his way to challenge God to a duel.

Is it then a matter of internal plankton
Or the eternally singing girls of Sandpit?
Anyway, it matters little unless it`s not the treasure trove.
That`s why for love to blossom, we must add fuel.
