Twenty Odd Minutes Poem by Aseso Omollo

Red button – steaming sheets rolled,

Blue button quickly (Clark Kent would be green!) ,

Oh...much better,

Sweet smelling cake – herbal, they say

But again...who cares?

As white engulfs the terrain –

Soaking every nook, every crevice,

Flooding Grand Canyon,

Whooshing past the dense Amazon,

Sweeping across the lush plains of the Savannah –

Into the Atlantic,

Amidst the tunes of Michael Jackson, R. Kelly and Bob Marley –

Horribly off...might I add,

For even Hades went silent –

For those twenty odd minutes
