The Twin

The Twin Never talk Always mute Just words like 'Rara' and 'Beni' All in one day Caged in a world of freedom Statics despite no chains and shackles Always starring during any conversation Or laughing at a joke when they cracked none Isn't a shut mouth a shut destiny? Or perhaps a malodorous mouth. Some say it is licence to errors As instruction seldom need clarity. Keep quite, Can't you be quite, Look at your friend seated quietly Restless boy, hyperactive girl Your mouth smells Shut up! Insolent kids. Your noise is too much! Give me the list of noise makers - six strokes each Noisy children, spoilt brats. Now we have dumb twins with vibrant tongues. Oni, Afolabi Ajibola, 1:14am, 25/05/2019
