A Moment on Sixth Street

The road, crowded with boda bodas
crashing against each other.
No taxis or personal vehicles –
only giant-like trucks
honking at each other,
no traffic officers to control them.
The road full of potholes
filled with brown water from today’s rain.
Giant trucks splashing water on each other.
People on boda bodas
with brown porridge-like mud
on their feet and shoes.
Oh, what a road!
