Di song loud and I dey move and nobody dey here wey go get opinion about any of am. I go dey do dis tin plenty pass so. E cost me three minutes and e don change di temperature of di whole evening, wey be return wey I no for believe if person describe am give me.
Di floor dey do dat tin wey floor dey do wen volume high. Breath don finish me faster pass how I expect and na laugh I dey laugh am. Sometin wey dey on top shelf dey vibrate small and I no go do anytin about dat one too. My neighbor dem go manage. Na one song.
I stop to dey do dis tin for some point without me ever deciding am. Somewhere between to be person and to dey busy, three minutes of joy quietly stop to enter di list, and notin come replace am. Nobody dey collect dis kain tin from person hand. E dey fall comot for edge while person dey handle tin wey look important pass for dat time and wey mostly no be so. Di tin wey dem dey cut first na always di one wey nobody else dey wait for, wey mean say na almost always di one wey exist purely for my own sake. Dat na strange filter to take run person life and na am I run for years. Nobody dey put joy inside calendar, and na exactly why na im dey first comot and na im dey last come back.
Three minutes no be anytin and e dey change di temperature of one whole evening. Na dis be di good tin wey cheap pass wey I fit get, and I dey continue to forget say e even dey, wey be strange kain tin true true for person to dey forget. No barrier dey here. No equipment, no scheduling, no skill, no cost, no preparation, no oda person wey dem need. Di only reason wey I no dey do am na say e no dey enter my head, and dat na problem wey I fit solve by deciding once rader dan by deciding every day. Three minutes dey available to me even for di worst day wey I go ever see.
So I go play di one wey I love, loud, and I go move for three minutes. To do am anyhow no be say dem just allow am, na almost di whole point, because to do am well go need audience and audience no dey. Three minutes. One song. No warm up, no reason, and no plan for wetin go happen afta. Den I go go back to wetin I bin dey do, three minutes lighter pass how I bin dey.
Breath still no complete. Smile still dey my face. Three minutes.
