WHEELS AND HEELS
I don’t have a problem with the boy
Having his four wheel drive
As long as am not cripplied
My legs will carry, this girl
With all her ambitions she will
Walk and get where Kibet is
But Chebet do you like it
Do you like it that
With your four brothers
Kiprono Kiprop Kichumba
Kibet never does his laundry at all
Mama Chebet said you own the kitchen
The spoons,the mwiko but don’t touch
The remote, don’t fix the bulb.
Yes you are etitled to education
We don’t need you embarrassing us
At our in-laws homestead
It’s not any different from
Sitting before a chalk board
With books and uniforms
That’s a ridiculous look for wife
You’ll learn during your initiation.
So the difference between the miguu
And the mgurudumuis the society
As Kibet gets a chance to roll with the wheels
Chebet is on her heels rushing to the stream
Before Kibets meal time is overdue
The narration is a cliche
But the concept is a hidden discovery
She is not claiming the elevator
As he uses the staircase
Perhaps they both should be
Lifted up to fourth floor.
