Mallard Barbers (2:07)
The count is in insignia the sciences begin
Onward poison ivy marches while you scratch the skin
Shin splints sprint towards the end
On the cactus I have climbed
And spoke about the sun too many thousand times
I’ve read the signs and flown
The ducks are known to dive
The earth on the inside is hollow and I have touched the sky
Overwhelming souls are rending
Through a nebula defending
Inhospitably rendering inferior toys
Boys!
The British-Somali poet draws upon everything from leftfield folk to minimalist spoken-word, bound together by simple-yet-cutting wordplay. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2021
