As the world gets better at spinning
We get dizzy and fall on our rare
Some keep falling through the atmosphere
Some don’t survive past 12:05
Little Baby Jesus is a lyrical triptych of monologues revealing the inter-connected lives of three inner-city teenagers, capturing the exact moment each becomes an adult.
Kehinde has a passion for light-skinned girls or otherwise known as…
…Mixed-raced girl syndrome. My favourite was when that black African or Caribbean skin mixes with that white English or European skin. You get that sun kissed finish.
Jodie is a mixed-race girl dipped in rudeness and rolled in attitude.
Listen, old man, I’m not in the mood for romancing with some weirdo, ya get me, so don’t waste your rotten breath init.
And then there’s Rugrat. He’s the class clown. He really wants to be liked – even by the scariest boy in school.
He was some Nigerian gangster! He laid it on the line! His voice echoed through the playground like a lion’s roar, through the plains of the Serengeti. Blood clot!
Three magnetic personalities and three remarkable stories from the poetic imagination of Arinze Kene.
