The alley where we meet during lunch everyday is cold as a dungeon without our daily chatter. I await my cohorts. The skyline is grey. Cars honking their horns, the streets look busy-humans and cars going in every direction here and there. Down the alley is dQueenb heading my way. In her striking silhouette, she walks with an air of reckless abandon yet poignant and riveting with her stories. I could listen to her talk all day long. Somehow, she has God’s favor on her side for she has the most remarkable command of metaphors and vocabulary which will caress your imagination, make you laugh and cry in the same breath. I can’t wait to hear what she has to say today.
Walking behind her is Nneka. Controversial as hell and forever edgy. A true Nubian queen with unmistakable beauty. Keen as the eyeball on the dollar. Her lurks pulled back leaving one strand dangling over her right eye revealing her stunning face. Her winter jacket doing little to hide her stunning features. Lawd knows what emotions she would stir up today. Nevertheless, I missed her like crazy.
Ahh is that 'so-obscure' is see walking down the strip? Yeap, sure is. This brova is mad cool and always on point with his views on issues. I missed you bro.
My cell phone rings, its Adaure's call. Busy as usual but she promised to be her on time for the gathering.
Hmm, slowly but surely the crowd keeps getting bigger. The chatter grows louder. These walls cannot hold us back any longer. We must change the world with only our voices as our weapons.
I'm glad to be back after a long holiday trip to Nigeria. The year is new; the terrain familiar. Faces so often new and my friends are more. I’m glad to be back on tha block. I'm glad to share my lunch time with you again.
THERE ARE STORIES TO BE TOLD!!!
