Simple World (Written During Covid Shutdown)

The world is simple again.

No planes, no trains, no ships, no rides. No noise! No deadlines!

She’s missing — the lady at the corner, never scared of the dark or the unknown man, always faithful at her spot, never on sick leave or vacation — she’s missing.

He’s sober — the bar hypeman, nicknamed bottle, unofficial beer ambassador, blindfolded, he knows what label is before him just from the cracking sound of the cork — He’s sober.

1 out of 3, 3 out of 7. For years this was the diet plan of the church rat. When the church was feasting, he was fasting. Thunderous shouts of hallelujah, chased his sleep away. Now he takes a selfie and captions it, “TGIF, no vigil today.”

The loud speaker that calls for Morning Prayer is observing Sabbath.

No one is stuck because the car driver ahead indiscriminately stopped on the road and fled to pray. The world is simple again.

Ifeoluwa.
