Stuck in a burger joint
I swear I smell cassava
Roasting in an open fire
She hands me the fries (super sized just the way I like it, she thinks)
I split my cassava open
Slip some butter and watch it sip between my fingers
“Thanks for visiting Burger Mac,†she says
I take a bite
Realize like Dorothy from Kansas, I’m not in Kankan anymore
I’m stuck
Looking for Kenya among Rockies rocks
Went up north to Park Rapids, Minnesota
In search of the source of the Nile
Looked up to the sky
My sun is always blocked by a thin layer of winter.
I’ve come to accept disappointments
As an opportunity to grow as a human being
Never forgetting where I’ve been
Consequently, every now and then
Walking down the street
To myself I speak Maninkakan
Out loud!
For the hell of it
Walk up to a teller pretend I don’t speak English…
Mma, aketo, ah forni nay cyen co wadi ye fodoba fen nney di yan. Nnani ntalay mina dia
Cacacachameleon, shape shifter
13 generations ahead of human evolution
I’m the manifestation of tomorrow today
Love
I say it when I feel it
Resist the temptation to take it in vain
Just to achieve selfish gain
Son of God
You need 2 feet
2 walk in 1 of my shoes
So black, you’d think I was white
Where I’m from?
So far away geography can not comprehend
Left land behind
I’ve been to the end of time
6 dimensional being
Times 2 senses
Half known
Wholly misunderstood
I guess I must be an alien
