#MONDAY POETRY# ’MARA

She visited me almost every night

And so I called her ’Mara

In my dreams she came,

To propose the logical; she said

To procure a solution to my long-littered problem,

That of chronic singleness

I asked her why,

Why her perplexities weren’t sufficient for her

She gave me some inkling into the troubled waters of her soul

It’s the turbulent shaking of love, she said

And it was only because her heart was reverberating,

With concerns for my emotional health

And so I proposed the illogical, it seemed

I was not afraid of walking home alone,

Or of being by myself

Rather, I was unaware of its complexities

And more wary of her venturi-like love

We put an end to our illusory discussion:

Maybe she was the illogical one, actually

Or maybe I was the one who needed a rude awakening

From the side effects of ketamine

’Mara came again last night,

This time, she sounded so urgent,

More willing to beat her thoughts into my ‘crazy’ head

She said I had to pack my bags and place them along-side hers

That her visit was up, and so were my fantasies.

More Poetry next Monday...comments are highly welcome.

WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...

SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1. REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2. DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3. PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches. Branc...
