PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Written 5/14/2020

This poem was written by me in Benin City, Nigeria, in 1994, during one of the forced vacations of the University of Port Harcourt. As usual, I spent the vacation with my uncle who lived in Benin. At a point I had become so put off by my uncle’s new wife’s seemingly patronizing attitude. I couldn’t help entertaining other strands of thoughts some of which considered the possibility that the quest of the modern woman for gender equality might also upset certain natural equilibria that always existed between men and women. 

the strange get stranger.

A re-occurring theme.

From the road. Inspired by strange things in a strange world.
