The bed is upturned
Empty condom sachets lie around
a broth of four-day-old tea
bodies of roaches stamped dead
beside a loaf of bread and sardine can
Cobwebs restrain mosquitoes
An air freshener nozzle points at the wall
A candle stands halfway burnt beside papers
Newspapers strewn about the room
Proposals peek from underneath a blanket
More candle bars peer at the world
from under the rumples of clothes on the rug
A pen knife
A bottle of soft drink—empty
A Bible—unread
No prayer book
But Anointing Oil flows
A photo album of lies
Cassettes of Naija Pop
CDs
VCDs
DVDs
and VDs
