In This dingy room Water halves the tibia Hurricane tilts and sails Certificate and papers floats Like colorful regatta at ogbuide Weak ceiling like pregnant cloud Charge for a fatal release of deluges From perforated rustic roof tops Light peeps as galaxies in the sky Their grotesque eye impishly starring Louvers are no more, curtain are shreds And blind bat passes through expressly While the putrid smell of rottenness and squalor Bestrides the little space But around my neck l Landlord! The landlord he breathes hot air He rents the air With piercing word from personal sources Increase! I will for minimum wages Quit! I have for new remuneration And where do I go from here?
