What should Africa call me?

When I got to take off my cover-up in Zanzibar

I was just like,

OOPS!

When people sing loudly and poorly in church

I just wanna be like,

When someone mentions Al Shabaab, Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb or Boko Haram

I’m just like,

When I’m in Africa and I miss my dog

How my roommate and I felt when we moved into our flat

When someone tries to give me a flyer in town

I’m just like,

When my host mom says food is ready

She’s like,

Dealing with catcalling trolls

When someone asks me for money

I’m thinking to myself,

When a matatu drives by

All I hear is,
