Idle Wishes

-


I wish to drive

In Bugatti Veyron with entourage

In Italian suits

Smoking fifty dollar cigar

As I sip Dalmore selene



I wish to sit

In the luxury of my house

With servants at the snap of my fingers

My boys do all the work

While my account fattens



I wish to become

A better man for my woman

Serve her breakfast in bed every morning

Gift of roses every Wednesday

And romantic dinners every Saturday



I wish to be a famous poet

Flying first class from Lagos

To Los Angeles to Mumbai

With my name falls seven

On every ten lips



I wish my wishes

Come true and true

And my dreams become reality

That I shall never see death.

The man came home a little late, rushed to the kitchen, checked on empty pots. he'd drove pass bars and restaurants for he knew she's home. he was so hungry and his stomach hurts She said, hey, darling, what are you looking for? if you want something to eat go find yourself something nice for I'm so tired I couldn't eat His jaw dropped in awe as she said, darling, I'm so tired I forgot I'm a dame. my boss asked much from me, today and tomorrow might be worse, for that's his aim. The country man shook his head and said hey, darling, hey woman this is Nigeria you'd better get your bum up and go fix what I'd eat for this is Nigeria She jumped from her bed mumbling words in the kitchen doing what she's able even as she's tired, she had to hasten up before the countryman falls asleep while watching cable.    Countryman's story at the bar ©  I.J.
