Gately on Nile
Jinja, Uganda
On the way to watch the Superbowl
Streaming through the night
On the back of a motor bike
Sunglasses on
Eyes wide open
Wind blowing
Surreal nostalgia down in the pit of the stomach
As friends and football wait at the end of the ride
Dark and cool Africa town
Pavement and pot holes
Quiet
Like a silent soundtrack playing
To the wrong movie
You think
But it’s not
Just a different place to what you thought it was
Or maybe just a
Different side to the story you were living
Streaming through the night
Surreal and nostalgic light
This is now
This is home
For now
Right now this is home
