Acharugo

Chen Okafor

I met a lady once of a jovial nature
She moved her hips freely from left to right
Then spun round and round and round and round
Like a flying saucer

“I used to come to your house in Roswell” she said
As she pointed a finger at me
Her accent thick as tar
With a smile on her face
And an eyelid stuck in a perpetual gaze

She moved her hips freely from left to right
All the while looking
Staring
With a smile on her face
And then she left
Without a trace

I’ve thought of her since
By one phrase

“I used to come to your house in Roswell”
She said once
In that wild party hall
So she stood tall
Pointing from far away

But if only she stayed longer
I would have introduced myself

That accent
Thick as tar
I still remember her well
In dialect

“My name is Acharugo”
She said
