Plastic Women by Mgcini Nyoni
Those who come close to putting sta-soft in their hair And jik on their faces Maybe they do. Those who know where pizza inn is where the salon is where KFC is They don’t know where the library is. Those who have six inch fake nails Razor cut Hundred percent Weave et cetera Those with bright –red lips and fake Chinese face powder Those who insist on accented broken English Those who think the definition of good boyfriend is a car . Those who put sta-soft in their hair and jik on their faces, I call them plastic women.
