ALKALI
Ashok Niyogi
A little acid maybe
To be neutralized with alkali,
I vandalized again
Ungrateful wretch that I am,
But your chimney-tops
Are so uniform,
They make me sick.
A San Andreas fault
In the NASDAQ
Is what you need to shake you up;
I saw a scrap vendor today
Carrying his load at end of day
Precious as it was;
After hard bargaining
It will fetch him a dollar,
That’s enough for three meals,
Such as they have
In forty six degrees
Beneath trees.
I was debating with myself
What car I should buy
Air conditioning, mountain roads
And engine power
Why?
