Fire is a Metaphor for a Country Dancing Naked Inside the Rain

when man first discovered fire

he barbecued a rabbit, tasted that it was good & burnt the fat to his god in thanksgiving. another man tested the fire on his beards

& that was the origin of safety rules. in Kaduna, fire derailed a train & the news headline set a country ablaze.

It’s rainy season and the whole country is dancing naked inside the rain. a toad does not seek to triumph over a petulant drizzle; something must be chasing it. in Gunu, stray bullets sets the locals on fire; those who escaped this fire were eaten
