Obayifo: A Poetic Journey Into the Mind of Miss Marshall
by Yolanda T. Marshall

Enter my dark room of flickering lights,
Entertainment most suited for the eyes
Eyes so voiceless your lips express jealousy
Ending conversations, competing quietly
No noises
No nuisances
No Devils interrupting
No rowdy laughter of villains
Come into my haven
Calm your mind of hidden murmuring
Clamour for serenity, wordlessly
Conserve peace silently
Escape flamboyances
Escape the imaginary world of free speeches
Emphatic vocals keep their distance
Enter my world
— Y. Marshall
