My Next Life

Image
I want to live my life my next life backwards. From old age back to middle class and finally to the womb. Start out dead so that I can get that one out of the way. My body lying inside a coffin 6 feet under with decaying smell. One year and my body is back to normal. People pick out their flowers from my grave side. The tombstone is placed back to the back of a pick-up. A crowd digs out the coffin and pull out the casket from the ground. People drowning in tears surround the whole place. From family, friends and the pastor. It is placed in the centre of the crowd as the sermon goes on. Soon I’m back on the hearse and drove back to the mortuary.

I am Still Waiting

I guess match making started way early than we thought. The rest of the players would take different characters and there was also the dog of the family. Stupidity sometimes is funny. I remember when we wanted to live like street children cause no one told them anything. Little did we know how hard it was for them to get food or even they never slept on a comfortable bed. School was fun only during breaks and lunches. We couldn’t wait to finish eating so as to go the field and play until the bell rang. If the teacher never showed up, we would make noise all through. Boys talking about how last night’s wrestling...
