Freedom.
But the church billboard has 20 ‘don’ts’.
Mum enforces same ‘don’ts’ at home.
‘Honour your father and mother’
So I adhere with occasional slips
So that my life can reduce by seconds.
My birth country is Nigeria
But I will die in the Bahamas which is 5 hours backwards
So that’s fine.

He says a rib is missing from his cage.
She says her vagina is wide for his sake.
He tries to put her in her place.
You would think it’s by his side
But they tell heads, necks and tails tales.
Whatever their tale
I’m a heir of grace.
