Mwili mpya...

“We are fucked!”  Tommie stared at the gas cylinder as if it had personally betrayed him. “Gas inaumua iishe sahii? Fuck! Sina job,  pesa ndio hii imeamua kuingia witness protection.” His wife, Mary, was sitting on the edge of the bed, scrolling through her phone with the kind of concentration usually reserved for presidential results. “Babe,  si unawarm ile maharagwe ya juzi?” Tommie turned slowly. “Those beans?” Mary nodded. “The same beans zimekaa kwa fridge tangu juzi?” “Tommie…” “Mary, hizo beans ziko na history.  Juzi ndio zilikuwa beans.  Leo ni story ingine.” Mary sighed. “Ju gas imeisha,  tunatupa hizo beans tulale njaa ama turisk?” Tommie closed the fridge because when he had opened the fridge to take out the beans to warm, a funny smell escaped. “Pasi lazima aniconfirmie kitu.” “What?” “Kwamba binguni tunapewa mwili mpya.” Mary laughed despite herself. “Why?” “Because hii yangu imechoka. Imeishiwa nguvu.  Sasa ju ya njaa, inataka kula beans ...

Hey baby...


Guys….

Eeei!


Niko na furaha, na si ati pesa ni nyingi, mnaweza nunulia your favorite storyteller kahawa, if y'all don't mind, jameni baridi mingi.




Anyway, where was I? Yes. Eeei! Sijawahi jua the joy of discovering a new song by accident (si ile by accident ingine ya excuse ya your cheating partner akijitetea akipatwa), hukuwa amazing hivi.


Leo, start of the week, nimeamkia mjengo kusaka Singaporean shillings ya kufanya one two, foreman akasema leo, nijaribu another week, siko kwa hesabu ya hio wiki, nirudi nilale, nikasikia tu ki sadness ingine kwa chest ime descend. Nikajiambia haidhuru, nikaleft site, nikachapa lap kiasi mtaani, then nikarudi kejani, nione kama nitafinya finya kompyuta dollar itoke.


Kufika kejani, nikasema before niingie shughuli, wacha niingie YouTube, niweke background music kiasi to vibe with. Music plays for sometime, akili hata haiko hapo, it's just like filling the noise at the time(you know how our folks used to put news on, and they aren't even watching?), and I'm busy on the other end. 


This song starts playing, first of all, its beats draw me out of what I was doing, then its lyrics are catchy and witty af! I get to listen to it like 4 or 5 times, ikiisha tu hivi, na rewind before it jumps to the next song in the queue, naskia tena for the last time before I let the next song play, YouTube isishangae rada ya huyu msee ni gani.


I feel happy, and I just find myself starting to write this piece. I'm posting this a week later, because nimeamka kuenda site, nikapata wamefunga barabara, crazy insecure mf, then naingia Reddit napata someone lamenting how they ordered loaded fries, wakapata wamewekewa njahi badala ya Nyama.


Nilikuwa naisha mbaya sana as I was reading the rant. Najua tumbo yao iko loaded if they ate that combo, self control ikislip tu hivi kidogo, watu wako around them watasikia tu ratatatatata.
