<\/p>\nLinapokuja suala la umri,<\/p>\n
sote tuko kwenye ukataaji mtamu.<\/p>\n
Juri lililopewa hongo ili kulipuuza<\/p>\n
ushahidi<\/p>\n
imetawala kwamba sisi bado ni vijana.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ni nambari tu, sawa,<\/p>\n
anasema Tommy, kinyozi wangu wa Kigiriki,<\/p>\n
usihesabu majira ya joto,<\/p>\n
unabisha robo.<\/p>\n
Il Kwon, mchuuzi wangu wa Kikorea,<\/p>\n
hupaka jeti yake ya nywele rangi nyeusi,<\/p>\n
Jos\u00e9, anayepaka jikoni yetu,<\/p>\n
inachukua mpenzi mdogo kila mwaka<\/p>\n
na kumsitiri mkewe.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sote tunawasha<\/p>\n
kama bumpers za mpira wa pini<\/p>\n
wakati sisi ni kadi kwa<\/p>\n
punguzo letu kuu<\/p>\n
kwenye kibanda cha tikiti<\/p>\n
au wakati huckster katika maonyesho<\/p>\n
inapotosha umri wetu<\/p>\n
kwa miaka sita kamili<\/p>\n
na tunatembea na mwanasesere wa kewpie<\/p>\n
hatuna matumizi ya kidunia.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Je, hawawezi kuona mifereji<\/p>\n
kulima kwa kukosa usingizi usiku,<\/p>\n
kipindi cha miezi sita<\/p>\n
kujikaza dhidi ya ukanda,<\/p>\n
nywele kuchana kidogo kwa ustadi sana<\/p>\n
ng’ambo ya tambarare?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mungu abariki macho yako yenye upungufu, bwana,<\/p>\n
si wewe kuangusha sarafu moja au mbili<\/p>\n
katika vikombe vyetu vya ubatili<\/p>\n
kabla ya kusafiri?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
