The Waiting Room Niger The Red Planet
In the desert the waiting room is the shade of a tree
Waiting for a bush-taxi or some other improbable transport
An old mand sits under a tree with two young lads lying
Maybe they have been felled by a bout of malaria
Or they are just taking a nap to make the time shorter
A boy stands vigil on the roadside to flag down the transport
