What Some of Us Do...

1.

at the university gate the man in the Camry bobs his head to D’Banj as he undresses with his gaze the girl at the roadside who stares right back at him and picks his pocket with her smile.


2.
at the refectory, the girl watches him obliquely, her mind hovering with thoughts of replenishing her make-ups and beverages, while the man sizes her up from under his eyelashes his urges tightening his bladders in a vice.


3.
every morning, off the university gate, the bar looks bare while opposite it the shack is abuzz with girls having themselves preened and primed like delectable fare, but at dusk the shack emits them all into the bar to sate the appetites of men of varied sizes.
