On the Pole

Her hug warmed my chest as she entangled and said
‘nimefikiwa’.

I don’t remember her as beautiful, even with my stupor.
She was just a plain girl with a spectacular talent.

Then swirls and sweeps, bumps and humps, yummy gummy,
deep and no eye contact with her crowd.

the crowd cheered.

She left the stage and came up straight to me, fell on my lap.
Nobody noticed. Eyes were already on the next dancer.
the next one was round and hot and fake and painted.

she asked me, will you come again?
I said, yes. She asked, yes?


I said, yes. You are a very intelligent dancer.
