    A—Gonzaga (Oluchukwu Aloysius–Gonzaga Nwikwu) is a Nigerian–born, Scandinavian–educated essayist, poet and songwriter. Read one of his poems, below.

    During the Toffee Past Times

    “The trees were squirrels’ land
    The fathers were able men
    Women were then adored
    And the kids were raised at home.

    “We launched no space missions
    But humanity-glorifying visions
    We also drove no fast cars
    But created fast solutions to our problems.”

    I said “I would wish to live in those days, teacher.”
    He said “But we can’t go back, son…
    It was nice to share with you though
    But those were thoughts of toffee-past times.”
