A Song 228

creation has no bylines,
argued Stephen Hawking.
he is snatching headlines,
counter gods,
in small letters.
a katha, without a story line.

.....

pop ups
in short sleeps.
a wooden chest of drawer;
an arm chair;
wall clock in reverse;
beedi-faced Bhootu from Dacca
chewing beedis,
sharing with maid Sotho
from Kolkata.
