Question?

You'd find a needle in a haystack
That's what you told her.
Never bothering to find out why.
You said any form of curiosity is kokonsa*
Had you bothered to find out why,
She'd have said-
My mind rages with outcomes,
Probable meanings, twists
In what you say.
I ask because the storms must calm,
Because I could be wrong.
I ask because I can.

*Kokonsa means gossip in the Akan dialect.

Virgin Man

You said you were a virgin when you got married
Did you tell anyone that when you were single?

You said you were a virgin when you got married
Why are you telling me?
Is it to score points?
To find out if I am a virgin?
To satisfy your curiosity?

Kudos to you.
Whatever your reason.

Curious Moment

Sitting next to this guy in trotro*
I saw something I had only heard about;
A guy with perfectly manicured nails,
And that is not strange,
Except for the shine from the clear nail polish he spotted. 

*trotro: commercial buses used in Ghana.

Curious Moment

I sat next to a young guy in a vehicle to Kaneshie yesterday.
There was nothing remarkable about his appearance.
He had one thing going on;
He was smoking a flower.
