A Song 41




At Marine Drive
in Arabian Sea,
Kabir and Tuka,
priced out at Wankhede,
gamed with Meera, wicket-keeper;
Kabir tossed a torn, coloured, cloth ball,
Tuka packed it to the sea;
unlike abhangs, the ball sank;
Cricket laws do not cover cloth
balls at sea, ruled Panduranga.
They protested;
'if abhangs can float,
why not a cloth ball.'
Docked, locked for dissent.
