The lights of Accra
will confound you as you circle
dreamily round
haphazard
houses arranged to fit
sprouting family trees.
Did you hear the blaring
horns - sometimes angry,
sometimes friendly?
Did you see two lovers
heading for Labadi beach?
Follow them
lift the hem
of the sea
plunge...
you have reached
the centre
of the world.
