Nneka's attention

It's like grabbing a snail
from running away
Nneka's attention
is easy to grab
but hard to keep
like marble balls
on marble floors
spilling to every door
One moment
you have her eyes
the next, they break
to a thousand sights
Nneka's attention;
is easy to grab
but hard to keep
as anything that's
easy to attract
is easy to distract.
