you can jump from plane
to land at the front of moving train
When in love
you can send recharge card with borrowed phone
because yours is the collateral to get the loan
When in love
you can buy suya and eat the onion
if advised against, you call it jealous opinion
When in love
you can receive call with background moaning
yet so disturbed that her creditor is asking for money
When in love
you can take sugar daddy as uncle
being good boy: polish his shoes and fix his buckle
When in love
you can save enough for sweetheart to take flights
soaking garri without sugar days and nights
When in love
you can trek entire length of river Nile
just to give your darling transport fare with smile
When in love
I, will walk to Juliet after taking the poison
slap her corpse that love for suicide is no reason
When in love
you can put on smiles in hallucination
certain, your madness has no medical solution
only for those who fall in love….
