Tunde left me for good<\/p>\n
Good riddance to bad rubbish<\/p>\n
I thought he meant well<\/p>\n
I guess he never did<\/p>\n
And so to the dark corners of my room I crept<\/p>\n
Crying my eyes out in pain<\/p>\n
And heartbreaking sorrow<\/p>\n
I took liberty on a thought<\/p>\n
Though unnecessary and unthinkable<\/p>\n
For a sign, I wanted for closure<\/p>\n
And so, cropped up my hair in fragment and batches<\/p>\n
Till it became skins bare<\/p>\n
Afterward, my\u00a0 head began to act like a detector<\/p>\n
What it detects I don’t know<\/p>\n
Just a little quarter at the back of the left side<\/p>\n
The hair there stands on end<\/p>\n
As if waiting to be counted<\/p>\n
Goosebumps crops out of my skin<\/p>\n
As if I have a crocodile cold skin<\/p>\n
What is happening to me?<\/p>\n
Why am I feeling this way?<\/p>\n
However,<\/p>\n
Gone were the heartache and heartbreak<\/p>\n
It was like they were never there<\/p>\n
But I got something else to think about now<\/p>\n
It’s the antenna flickering at the back of my bearskin head.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
