City of Joy




of yellow cabs ,of trams ,of hand rickshaws & broken backs


of fish , of rice & of hunger


of high rises , row houses & of footpath shacks


of beautiful eyes , of beautiful smiles & of prostitution


of critiques , of socialists & of rebels with no cause


of clubs , of linage , of royalty & of men with masks


of soccer , of cricket & of worship


of sadness , of poverty & of hope


of books , of scholars & of opinions


of smoke , of coke & of wilderness


of lust , of love & of passion


of past ,of present & of future


of kings , of British & of middle class


of speeches ,of rallies & of bureaucracy


of sensuousness , of sexuality & of openness about it


of legal illegalities & illegal legalities


of beauty , of finesse & of the cheek


of love ,of trust & the glimpse of it.......
