Picture nine

-the Nigerian charade-
a poor chess move
the ban on bikes
without alternatives;
some picked up guns
some picked up death
some picked up drugs
some picked up themselves
went from a bi to a tri;
if one can raise an arm
doesn’t have arthritis
is blind enough to see
has a mouth to feed;
he plants a seed
he builds a safe
he avoids women.
