A: I told you I would come.
B: But, your wife…
A: Don’t worry.
B: But, sir, what are you doing here at my parents’ house?
A: I love you.
B: And I don’t.
A: What! You’ve found another?
B: No!
A: I’m not good enough for you?
B: Oh, you’re the best, the best I’ve ever known, but…
A: But what?
B: You’re fucking married!
A: And so?
B: I can’t deal with that. Sir, you have to go.
A: And what if I don’t?

Once oil is up,
Everything is up
And hairs are scattered
For peace is unobtainable.

Ahum,that man and that girl,both of them are not alright,in fact that girl is ???she has gotten enough now she wan run,make the man handle am.
Me likey.
I agree with gretel…but i like the simple complexity of both writings…
GOOD ONE.
Okay.
Lol @Emmanuella’s comment – Admin has gone green and they are trying to preserve web pages and save power, cost etc. Don’t blame them, lol.
Love the two. That man and woman no get themselves. As for the poem – ‘un’equaled!
@Lade, I believe it (she/he/they?) [Admin] did this primarily to make sure the rules to posting poetry here is kept to the letter, you see. The secondary reason could be that what you just said, you know. The Admin wants long poems to be posted a lot, and to me sha, short poems make the most impact. Well, I think marketability seems to be the central thing here. I think the Admin of NS would want very ‘sell-able’ materials for an audience willing to pay for them. Pay must come, and man must chop, must wack, abi? Na d normal ting ke…
Maybe web pages are now ‘un’affordable, abi? loved both, and I agree with Gretel, the man should hold the woman very well.Is it now that she remembered he’s married?
Great work Emmanuella, so much has been said in such few lines.
Hmmm….secret lovers are on their way to becoming open lovers if they aren’t careful…nice on Emmanuella….as for the poem…tres bien! The ‘un’ bearable state of our nations seems to be reflected in everything around us!
Hmmm…these secret lovers are on their way to becoming open lovers if they aren’t careful! Nice one Emmanuella..as for the poem? Tres bien! The ‘un’ bearable state of our nation seems to be reflected in everything around us!
Nice one sis…A way of portrayal, lovers inclined bugging…And the burden of the nation calling for understanding….keep em coming….
The man should gerrout jor. lol What is he doing in her house. This is what happens to secret lovers when one of them decides (s)he is done with the secret.
‘un’able is ‘un’critique-able. lol
Abbylistic!
I laf die for the comment wey u just make! Well done!! A & B are just fictional characters in a flash stage play, purely conversational, and na so u dey react? Ewo! I feel u, o! 
I no like people wey after una don get agreement, go come dey try change the rules of the game. dat’s all.
I feel you, @abby my sis.
But you know how ‘funny’ the human mind works, hm? Someone told me never to expect anything in this life, or else you’ll get disappointed.
