Reading poems is the way of discovering that peopleΒ Β write for fun, they write of the very things that you think preposterous. They write of love, and you write of hate. Poetry is in many ways charade of indiscipline, even gross indignity. Gives you joy rides and goose bumps. Why do people write- poetry? I deliberate and out of it curse people, write a poem send it for publication. The laptop creaks. The editor whines when flooded by my irksome mails.
In the streets of the city, and there are plenty, I see a rag picker. I see the *****. I see the blinded with begging bowl, but singing. Chanting. I see barely seven or eight a child pleading for coins and mercy. I stalk away. Walk away. My hauteur a new demeanour.
