KIDULT
When I was a child, I spake as a child... but when I became a man, I put away childish things... How?
Was it out of compulsion, insecurity or transformation?
You sip your juice like one of those ladies we see on television.
Lade, didn't you join us to steal Mama Kuli's akara? We all ate them, you and Isoke, if my memory serves me correctly, you both fought for the last four pieces.
Or didn't you bathe with us? We saw your nakedness, you saw ours. Now you sip your juice like you aren't the same Lade we knew.
Why did you reject the guguru, epa and Fanta we offered you?
Lade, Lade, remember, no matter how far you run from your fathers house, you are closer to the land of your fathers.
