    Entrepreneurship

    Entrepreneurship

    A faded signboard
    hung on our sagging fence
    reads:

    WE DIE FADED JEANS

    but on the gate
    instead hangs
    an exhibit –
    a threadbare napkin
    soiled and holed
    a flag of indigenous
    entrepreneurship
    waving our poverty
    to passer-bys
