A LAZY NAIROBI.

I light up my kush and gaze at Nairobi.

A lazy Nairobi evening
under this mogumo tree do i stare at nairobi.
i gaze at the snaky traffic jam
the distinct sound of children playing
the occasional stork, crane, pigeons and doves alike
i wonder in awe\
i gaze at the majestic splendor that is bestowed within women
the jingle of an ice cream van
the yellow-melllow-orange shine of the evening sun;
reflected from Nairobi's scryscrappers
The wind blows,
the sun sets
and streets are flooded with lights.

A lazy Nairobi night
i  light up me kush and gaze at Nairobi.
flickering stars, twinkling galaxies
ans a blurring site that's nairobi's concrete jungle.
family cars, matatus and buses wont fail to hoot
and  the owl won't fail to hoot 2
A scream here
      and you know muggers are on the loose
A scream there
     fuck! lasses and lads making out under the tree. F.U.C.K.I.N.G.
A scream there also
     drunks are cursing and praising the world that is the quench of their thirst
And screams there
     CRASH! fatal accident.
dead silence, grave silence.
crickets cricketing, wind whistling
now the park is whistling thorns
the moon's radiance illuminates
a lazy nairobi dead night
but i glance at neon lights and wonder........

A lazy Nairobi dawning
I light up my kush and gaze at Nairobi
the dead nairobi homes are lazily lighting up
school kids hurry up to school
early birds on the rise
labourers en route eleven to 'hustle' for their wages
while  the so paid have to wait for their salaries.
traders are piling up!
sun is already hot if not warm.

a lazy Nairobi noon
I light up my kush and stare at Nairobi.
the sun is directly overhead! am STONED.
i feel this hunger pains
when i see restaurants fool
when i see picnic snacks by the park
when i see soda and cake vendors
when i miss my mama's packed lunch.
the noise of a lazy but busy Nairobi
the air pollution from exhaust
the dust blowin in ya face= makes u sick!
with a lazy nairobi afternoon.

I light up my kush,
And gaze into a lazy nairobi afternoon.
