My poem for 4 o'clock

4 o’clock

I wait for you

From about 9 in the morning

When I’ve had my morning fruit

And I’m already feeling peckish again

4 o’clock

I want you

So badly

From the time my eyes pop open

On cold Lagos mornings

All I want is your embrace

4 o’clock

Dude

I miss you

Don’t you know?

You should come around more often

You should know

That I’ll never cheat on you

I’ll never look at another fella

He can be 3:45

And have all the muscles

He can be 3:50

And have all the money

4 o’clock

It is you that I want

We belong together

Don’t you know?
