Sample sale bag lady

It’s a brother’s Johnson sort of thing
Strawberry letter 23 turned sour
Lemon man-boy break fast
Exit ethiopia
Next nigeria
Or maybe mali
Makes room for guinea
Pigs of all sorts
Of sordid and sumptuous
Suggestion…

Or could it be
Cabo verde?
Never greener pastures on the other side
Just the same tale of landscapes and territories
Battles to be fought
Forgiven
Forgotten with time

Like memories, men and history (not herstory)
No refunds accepted

Because as Heraclitus said
One can never enter the same river twice.
