This guy was found around Long Bridge. He was robbed on Long Bridge while traveling to Benue & thrown down from d bridge to d foot of d Bridge.
He survived it with a messy broken Right Leg. He's from Benue St. No phone or any item was found on him. Retweet to notify his family.
Because deep down all we
want is to be split apart. Or do you
not see it clearly enough—
this mole on your flesh,
tender as light & sinking
through.

In ss3, I was expelled for “romancing” a teacher. A teacher (was never in her class) called me and told me it was not my fault and never feel shame for being wronged by the teacher and school. Then allowed me to cry on her shoulder until I had no more snort and tears.
"in the beginning, there is a gun. Its mouth opens
& a mother runs with her boy. But in each retelling,
it still ends the same: the bullet will always
outpace the body."
I haven't yet caught my breath from reading this fire. You need to read this. You need to read this.

By the green River, I watched the Orange-breasted kingfisher plunge,
beak-first for water, to perform the acrobatics of hunger.
Show me a hunger that is not dangerous; show me a desire not taking
