The day I buy myself a color black Harrier
I will shave my legs
steam my thighs
and paint my hair red.
I will slide into my little black dress
and stuff my feet inside a pair of drop-dead gorgeous six-inch heels
I am yet to decide on the importance of wearing underwear.
On that day,
I will wear kilos of lipstick
buckets of face powder
and several cans of body spray
I will buy chewing gum
and make balloons with it.
Before I drive off
I will raise my hands and praise God
I will slot in my favorite music – Fally Ipupa Mayday
wiggle my fine buttocks for a minute
slap my thighs,
decorate my fingers with gold rings
and hide my eyes in black shades.
It is then that I will drive to Nairobi
after hanging my bra on the side mirror
ha! On that day…
