Rattle on!

by Arunansu   Nov 29, 2007


Clatter on tram tracks
puddles of rain
muddy wheels
a depressed sky
most part of the year

sunlit grasses
moonlit love
noisy slogans
fiery speeches
chanting priest and
a silent Deity,

Neighboring sparrows
purring cats
whirring of a lonely dove
raspy songs
a routine bulletin
adds on to everyday din

Newer ring tones
Hello. What. When.
Morning alarms
car lights seeking day
newspapers, milk, other eatables dangle
in morning strides
or in rhythm of paddles

The city
. . . rattles on.
