A poem with emojis by Funmi Adewole

Modernity

is strategised ๐Ÿ“ 

not industrialised ๐Ÿญ 

meaning 

if we all spend

time โฐ

On this task ๐Ÿงฟ

(rethinking the centre)

we ๐Ÿ’ฏ

will become 

more conscious ๐Ÿ’ญ 

of each otherโ€™s 

temporalities โ˜€๏ธ ๐ŸŒง 

We will 

have to share 

implements ๐Ÿ–ฅ

for

one โ˜๏ธโ˜๐Ÿปโ˜๐Ÿผโ˜๐Ÿฝโ˜๐Ÿพโ˜๐Ÿฟ

thing

Then we would

all be modern

at the same

time.

๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿพ

The dancing body

knows ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿฟ

that it takes

time โฐ

to fill space

which can be 

tricky ๐Ÿ‘ป

With our various 

watches โŒš๏ธ

and projectsยฎ๏ธ

we are likely

to bump ๐Ÿชจ

into each other

But then

we all

need light๐ŸŽ‡

to see๐Ÿ‘€ so

light ๐Ÿ’ก 

will be

the co-author

we will

have in

common. 

 ๐ŸŒŒ

Then we would

all be modern

at the same

time.
