APES



Ashok Niyogi



They will park the car in the visitors’ slot
And move it around every third day,
But they take away
The garbage only once a week,
I must write to Shwartzneggar about it.

The fire alarms ring
With Indian cooking,
And you must not laugh out loud
For sheer
Fear
Because you just paid
Half a million to buy a house.

This inverted logic bemuses me
Perhaps it is civilization
And we are apes
Who rent their breasts in agony
Even though
In a foreign land
We emote in drapes.

At the end of it all
If I have got the Austrian right
Accent and all,
I win a prize
In ‘Homeland Security’
I rise.
