The Never Hide Man Niamey Dusk and Dust
The ersatz Ray Ban vendor takes his stock home
After aday touting his wares in the burning streets
Hidden and burdened under his portable stall
He looks like a giant pangolin on the run
Unfazed and dazed workers hurry home
They won’t notice the pangolin man under his scales
