made it to the end of the month like you made the b team

i was down to 2100 cfa, 1500 of which was for transport to the bank. so i play a game where i ask myself if i was a combination of a crazy old man and a crazy old woman, how would i make it through the afternoon. i appeared in the market and appeared at one of the palm wine shacks. 200 cfa later i had had a rich and oily bubbly drink and a story about 1952 and the death of nkha ngwu'. 50 cfa went towards fried dough and another 50 as contribution towards the memory of nkha ngwu' gold bond whisky fund for pa tanyi. i got a sack of rice for 100, then saw the woman to whom i had given 300 for six eggs because she told me she knew this dude with a motorcycle who could hook us up with a whole tray for 1300 and she wanted to see if anyone wanted in on it, because she couldn't front the whole 1300. she gave me my eggs and i convinced her to give me two small habanero peppers. 125 went towards a tin of tomato paste and beef bouillon cubes. she dashed me 5 cfa on the change, and i convinced another woman to sell me a small onion for 20. result was i ate a large plate of spicy rice and an omelette, with 60 cfa to my name, then i went back to the market and i was given a piece of stewed porcupine back and then given two beers and a meal of cabbage soup, plantains, rice, chicken and fish at a sendoff for canadians. there was lightning all day i don't regret that porcupine quill...
