Morning Walk

Dead kitten at the turn

between street no. 6 and 8

who will pick it up

not me, not me,

thank fuck it doesn't have to be,

i'm glad it's someone else's job

even if they are probably not paid enough for it

will they tell their kid

picked a dead kitten off the road today

matted red fur around its neck like

a sign of belonging

man not wearing mask

another man not wearing mask

who are these idiots

cross the road

assume everyone is an idiot

weird smell from that tank

better stay on this side of the road

jump over the gadda just so

lady with pretty jasmine in hair

but no mask do you know you're going to die

you won't see the pachagotla next year

and serves you right

iron gate open ok good how many men today

oh look another woman but no she's done 

maybe if I come earlier

Maali-man,thanks for the stink eye

same to you, i don't feel sorry for your

dark roasted coffee hands and round (glaring) eyes

behind your soda-buddi glasses

what would it take to die

you'd think it'd be easier in a pandemic

no, you're not going to figure out my boobsize

under this extra loose sweatshirt uncle

ek paav grave mein, but i guess it's just habit or something

uncle, i hope you trip and break your ankle

i wonder if the kitten will still be there

was it a dog a car

i should take off the earphones and listen to nature

or something but i can't be bothered

why not silly love songs

ummeed par to duniya kaayam hai

will the kitten still be there

the nausea is because you haven't exercised in two years

get over it you wuss

uncle i swear i will break your head with that rock

pregnant lady without mask i wish for your insouciance

to be passed to your progeny 

may they live in a better world

whom am i kidding 

how dare you bring a child into this shitstain

time to go back

will the kitten be there

it is not

oh good

thank fuck it's not my job 

couldn't the person whose job it was

have done it earlier

what if I got a fern

tomorrow might be better

i mean what are the odds of 

two dead kittens
