NEO - Abiola Bonuola
She is Neo, the matrix’s Neo
She realizes that her love
Is filled with a spell of neo soul
Dipped in Africa’s honey
But the other
Who is not her love
Is afraid of words
Because his fear happens
When he meets a
New wordsmith
“He is so inclined to
New Formalism”
“He is so traditional”,
She says.
Her love
Makes her feel
That poetry gives it
Love like she does,
Calm and swift
Slow and resilient
Music gives it
love like she does,
soothing and proud
And
She loves it
This is why
She clings to it
To her,
It is an embodiment
of neoclassicism
Her personal Neo
