Mama said to me, baby,
you can’t stand on the ground
and be pointing up at the ripe palm nuts,

she has elegant thunder thighs

Mama said to me, baby,

to add much-needed yeast
and to give it the required kneading.

Mama said to me, baby,
this life is a marketplace
filled with useful and useless goods,
what you fill your basket with
determines how profitable you’ll be
at the end of your purchases.

of positivity
in the lives of others
ensures that
my basket of harvest
is equally full of positivity
