This girl who leaned against a pillar in bus stand
chews on her school identity card
with her sparkling white teeth
while talking to someone on the phone
walking away from one pillar to another
she closes her eyes in smile
puts her fingers in her curly hair
looks up and stares at cooing pigeons
sometime she listens with a curious face
other times she says a long noooooo
and follow it up with a giggle
she walks out of the bus stand
under bright sun and that’s when
her caramel complexion
acquires even more magnetism
