A Song 112

On Link Road,
a cool, December morning
hunches unsure
over a wood fire,
as
Ajoba airing
Hanuman Chalisa,
bathes his Maruti Zen,
towels his Maruti Zen,
hugs his Maruti Zen;
dresses his Maruti Zen in zendu
flowers,
lights Cycle brand agarabattis,
being Maruti Zen's naming
event;  
Aji tinkles a bell,
invokes the Elephant God,
names Maruti Zen: Meenu.
That's what the astrologer said.
Airing
Rama, Krishna, Hari,
Ajoba takes the wheel
Aji beside,
drive into a jam session
on Link Road,
dissolve in
cars on skies,
cars on roads,
cars on pavements,
Maruti Zen moments.
