22 septembre (poem by Latif Askia Ba)

In the six o'clock evening. I am waiting 
outsidesun. Someday my prince. Inflected.
The man lifts me. With a crank. Into
the accessaride. A brand new room. Full
of sitting down. 
Sometime in college
I started reading
myself. In beautiful compiler code.
Hooking my chair into place. In case
we flipover. I can dangle from the roof. 
Like a monkey. I watch
as he takes three dollars
out of my wallet. 
He counts each
one out loud.
