By Ngartia:
Beside a vendor’s shifty legs,
On Nairobi’s vibrating floors,
Caressing the thin filthy paper
That cushions the rough pavement
Constantly smudged,
Caressed, tossed, and tattered.
Fingered by educated hands
Finely foraging for Forbes.
Passed by adolescent palms prodding for porn,
Dejected.
But, for that one loyal house wife,
In her hand bag swinging monthly visit,
True Love waits.
